Ben

I know some of what you seek but not all

I dug around in my notes and found:

PCM year dates and strategies and cal file

1988-1993 Mustang = GUFB Strategy = A9L, A3M, A3M1, X3Z, S0Z
1994-1995 Mustang = CBAZA Strategy = T4M0, U4P0, W4H0, J4J1, ZAO

Of course, I'm more familiar with the CBAZA stuff and they break down like:

t4m0 is stick GT
j4j1 is Cobra
ZAO is Cobra R
u4p0 & w4h0 are auto pcm's

As for the Fox pcm's I don't know which goes in which car

IIRC, in 1987, I think some Stangs were speed density

HEY ...... I Just Noticed

My answer to Ben was my #4K Post
Who would'a thunk it

I remember when I thought I'd never make it to 1K
because
I didn't know enough to post that much stuff

Now that I think about it
I don't know that much stuff
We keep getting a new batch of Noobs on a regular basis
and
They keep asking the same Questions over and over and over

Grady is correct. The trouble-code base is the same as the MAF (89-93 fifty-state models, and 88-93 Cali models).

IIRC, DA1 is one SD puter code.

What a crock.

You are amongst the elite folks [like Ben] whom have great knowledge and are a definite asset to the 94-95 guys and gals.

Congrats my mang!

And these words are from a fellow who has 5 times that amount of posts

I'm surprised I even noticed the count
on account of
The post are kinda hidden from me since we went to the new look and cause
I use the larger resolution screen thingie or is it smaller resolution

Never the less
I'm still havin fun
Especially when I can help out a long timer like Mr. Ben

Now ... if I could just figure out how to read everything without having to keep
sliding that little bar back and forth to see the whole post

I went with the dark blue skin and it helped me. However, for those who enjoy the high definition wide-screen look I have that issue on the Corral (I've never tried another skin over there because I really don't go there or care) but a friend said he changed some setting on his monitor and it shrunk it down...... Just in case that means sumtin to you Mr Grady (cuz homie here doesnt hose with the puter settings. ).

I have not and I really would not want to. Since our eec is load based...from the MAF I would think it would cause some "minor" issues with just about every aspect of how the pcm works.

IIRC some time ago you were thinking about making the 94-95 eec run in some kind of forced SD way. With the amount of larger factory and aftermarket mafs like SCT there is no real drawback of keeping the maf setup.

Unless your wanting to go standalone or something due to SUCH excessive engine combos (big boost numbers and much higher rpms). Not that you could not use a standalone but I dont see the need for it cost v. benifit side over a tweecer/pms/sct.

Stock for stock a SD computer seems (from the real world SD cars I have seen) to run better. However, once you mod and get to the point your modding the eec programming itself I think that goes out the window for the most part.
