Does anyone no if a autotranny 5.0 computer will work in a 5 speed 5.0 car. thanks

Yes I do KNOW that it will work, I've done it many times.

 

[88onbottle]

Is there any problems or is it just like a 5 speed car computer.

ive read where the a9l is better then a a9p

 

[SpartaPerformance]

No problems using it at all.

As stated....I kept my stock AOD computer when I did my T5 swap and there were zero issues. The car ran strong for the 6-years that I owned it.

I did a 5-sp swap into my AOD car and used the auto computer. The only problem I encountered was that the car would occasionally die when I put in the clutch coming to a stop. Apparently the A9P doesn't have the facility to hold the idle up when the clutch is pushed in between shifts. The problem was taken care of with a SCT chip.

It's usually seen on 86-88 cars without cruise control as they don't have a VSS sensor. When i converted my car, i added the VSS. No issue here.


Basically if you convert to a 5-spd, you can't use the 5-spd comp unless you swap the AOD O2 harness out for a t-5 o2 harness. Reason for this is Ford ran a nuetral safety circuit into the o2 harness (no idea why) and the pinouts are different between the 5-spd and AOD. So using the AOD o2 harness with a 5-spd comp sends voltage down the wrong pin to the EEC and can fry it.

I have an 88 5spd that has auto computer and the vss sensor and it dies every once in a while when I come to a quick stop while pushing the clutch in..may be a different problem but I figured I'd throw it out there. Other than that it runs fine..

 

[Mustang5L5]

MA or Speed Density??

 

[88onbottle]

Its a ma car thats the trouble im having runs fine until I smash in the clutch to stop the car dies but fires right back up its also wanting to run a little rich also.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Well, my question was for Jeepguy, but same goes to you. I'm guessing you have an '88 by your SN?? If so, is this a converted MA car??

If it is, did you run the jumper wires from the EEC over to the VSS wiring and tap in? Do you have a VSS present on the trans?

Have you run the check engine codes yet?? '88's don't have a check engine light, so no idea what is stored

 

[88onbottle]

No its a 92 the 88 is a diffrent car.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Run the codes.

See if you get a code 29 indicating a failed VSS

 

[88onbottle]

Sorry never done that how do you read the codes.Thanks
