No power

[Barry A]

I have a 95 mustang that had a 3.8 I swapped to a 5.0 I used everything from the 5.0 car except the automatic transmission and I have no power through any range I have tried my computer and maf on another car and no problem I have done a complete tune up except coil I have not put ect yet still no power even at wide open throttle it has no cars on it

Did you do the swap? I asked because we need more info.

if you use some punctuation, it may be easier for us to figure out what’s going on. It’s kind of tough to comprehend what you’re saying.

I see something about the ect? Does is not have a temp sensor installed? That’s important.

Yes

Did you do the swap? I asked because we need more info.

Yes

 

[Barry A]

I did the swap. I am a ford mechanic but never had a problem like this. I have no power throughout any range . I have done everything except replacing the ect,but I now think the injectors are clouded up I think this engine has sit up for awhile

DAMN, that is one sentence now that I look back at it.

Did you try starting fluid to see if it would fire up?
Does it have fuel pressure?
Will a scanner communicate with the computer?

 

[Barry A]

Car runs drives down the road just takes for ever to get up to speed. Fuel pressure is at top of pressure range yes it communicates with computer. Feels like it is starving for fuel

 

[General karthief]

Now getting a better info.
Will it rev up in neutral?
does the computer give you any codes?
Is everything swapped stock?

 

[Barry A]

Yes it will rev in neutral but lacks power . It is all stock. I tried to pull codes but couldn't the check engine light was blown replaced it and will get a light but haven't had a chance to recheck

 

[Chythar]

You said you didn't use the 5.0 auto transmission. Do you have a manual or automatic transmission now? If you're using an auto ECU with a manual, you will have issues. And just as a double-check - did you set the timing with the SPOUT connector out? And did you put the SPOUT back in? Did it seat correctly? I've had the SPOUT plug not go in right and the car ran like crap because the computer couldn't advance the timing.

 

[Barry A]

All of what you are asking is good. Computer is for an automatic by the numbers. Timing has been checked and set correctly numerous times. I found a big vacuum leak under the upper intake while removing injectors
