I have learned, sometimes the hard way, that if you are going to drive older vehicles you need to become your own expert on them. I recently paid a mechanic (and old acquaintance) to tune up my '85 F150. I'm now going over all of his work and trying to figure out why it runs worse than it did before he worked on it. Tom I was reading and old F150 forum where the guys are talking about their EEC III engine control. One guy talks about a Chilton's manual that helped him a lot. Chilton's Guide to Electronic Engine Controls ISBN 0-8019-7535-2. I found several of these on E-Bay. Where they show the back cover, you can see the ISBN number above the bar code. They cover 1978-85 .In the thread the guys talk about pulling the error codes. You may find it an interesting read.https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/155768-smog-and-eec-iii-questions.html Quote Selected
