1987 ECM Boggle...please help... October 09, 2005, 10:23:29 PM Howdy, y'all...Anyway, I own a 1987 5.0 bird, and I let a friend take the stock ECM out of the car to use on hiw 1991 Ford F-150 302-powered truck, as his died as he was getting ready for a construction job road trip. It ran fine in his truck, but then the truck was stolen while in another state...so I don't have the original ECM anymore. I have another one out of a 1987 Mustang 5.0 speed density auto car. I installed this ECM into the T-bird, and while it runs, it does not 'behave' properly, as there is a bog under acceleration, and it won't idle properly. My questions:1. Has anyone here used a Mustang ECM in their car, and had similar results?2. does the calibration only work for the Mustang, with the bigger stang cam and injectors? Quote Selected

Reply #2 – October 09, 2005, 11:20:40 PM Yes, I still have the SO engine in it....Oops, I feel real stupid right now, I completely forgot about the firing order difference....really dumb, considering I had to correct a firing order problem on a customer's 1990 5.0 Bronco just last week...this guy put an HO cam in it, and it wouldn't start, he kept the SO firing order...
