Dpfe Reply #35 – November 20, 2011, 08:17:21 PM something that rolls off the production line that late in the year is 1 model year newer.. for example, 1 year later in 11/88, the MN-12 birds/cougars were in production, which is the 89 model year Quote Selected

Dpfe Reply #44 – December 14, 2011, 11:52:57 PM Anyone have any pin outs for the 87 and 88 ecu's? As long as the tps and igniton wires are right it should start on staring fluid. I could see it not firing the injectors long enough to keep it running. Quote Selected
