Just wondering. Did you re-use the automatic PCM? Have you made any tuning adjustments to the PCM?
Do you have an ODB2 scanner? Are you seeing any misfires on the ODB2 mode6 cylinder misfire data?

Obviously one of the questions here is "is this problem caused by the swap" or "induced into the engine as a result of the massive amount of work done".

While working on your car have you ever wanted: to find an ODB2 operational PID value (say fuel pressure or MAF)? How about graph a PID value over time? Or compare multiple PID's over time? Access a bi-directional PCM control such as test a...

Yes I reused the auto pcm I have a manual pcm to go in just haven’t took it up to ford to get reprogrammed yet and i pulled all the codes on my scanner and that was 3 transmission codes for the auto and 2 for the o2 sensors which I don’t run rear o2 cause I have long tube headers and the she codes cause with the long tube headers it deletes the egr hole on the header so I deleted the whole egr system and the car ran fine before the swap stock motor btw no mods

Back fire is usually a symptom associated with timing. Are you positive that the correct spark plug wires are being run to the correct cylinders?

Back firing can also be caused by a cam sensor "issue". The V6 is very picky about the cam sensor. What can "cause" an unstable cam sensor signal? A bad alternator diode.

The other thing that would be interesting to look at is what timing advance the PCM is using. I could see a case where the PCM is limiting advance because the PCM "thinks" it's still in park/neutral.

Hey Guys, I have a 2000 3.8 that is throwing a P0301 code. I have replaced the spark plugs and wires but it is still throwing the P0301 code. From my understanding, I have a few options. 1) replace the coil pack. 2) replace/clean the #1 fuel injector and 3) replace the computer chip (which...

To anyone else reading any of my posts I usually include the line: Today's cars simply will not run right without a strong battery and charging system! Cut corners here at your own risk I'm a big believer in starting with the basics. As such I...

I’ll check my alternator tomorrow and see if that’s a issue and the wires are at 123564 that’s what I’ve seen I need to put them at I need that’s the only thing I took off when I replaced the trans cause I had to move the headers around to get it in and it was running right before we swapped it I changed out my coil pack no progress the cam sensors are original so I might be time to replace them
