After doing a frame of restoration on my Gram's 1994 Ford Ranger 4.0 4x4, there was one issue left that plagued the truck prior to the restoration.

@vonwesty3544 Год назад

Going with the Megasquirt ECU is the way to go! A lot of these older EFI computers are starting to crap out, and no amount of playing capacitor changing hokey-pokey is gonna solve the issues.

@GrayRaceCat Год назад

It's called "Digital Fade" or "Digital Creep" and it's what you get when the original software in the PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, or EROM, starts to degrade, and the program and/or map have bad data. It's been a serious problem with the classic computers (1970s & up) as well as early digital vehicle control modules.

@sharplessguy Год назад

I've been programming since the 1970s including burning proms. I've programed thousands. Yes, proms can fail, but "digital fade"??? No. Bits almost never get corrupted. There are checksums to catch that. You're blowing smoke

Take you time to learn how to tune and you will be unstoppable. Love to see Grams Truck finally get to run the way it was meant to. I want to see it get up those hills in the other truck reviews and show those new kids how it was done in the 90’s.

That's awesome that you were able to find not only a real solution to the problem but a customizable one at that.

@ronboe6325 Год назад

Had no idea that for a vehicle that old you could get a modern ECM. Props!

@Cablexman2k Год назад

I can feel a bit of your pain. I had a 2009 Chrysler T&C that needed an ECM. Dealer wouldn't sell it, found them on the net at the "Rebuilt" places... after doing some research on the companies that were doing the rebuilds, I found that most had poor reviews and most had many complaints with the BBB. So I looked on ebay and found one from a wrecked van for $25. Dealer had to reprogram for $125 and it worked great. Don't trust people just because they have a "business" on the internet.

Learning and tuning this aftermarket ECU will make you a better mechanic. Its only air, fuel and spark. Don't give up, you got this!🔧

@SarahnTuned Год назад

Yeah.. so I had over a decade of experience as an aerospace technician/supervisor/instructor and quality assurance inspector before doing RU-vid. I’d hope I already have those down by now. Haha

@tonyscott6162 Год назад

i would hope so too. 🤣 i remind myself all the time about this to simplify tracking a problem and tackling new things. i do think your viewers would like to see you have a crack at tuning a ECU but i understand time is limiting factor for ya. i look forward to the rally car build, rallying is the best fun you can have with your pants on.

Once again, I'm impressed by your dedication to bringing Gram's Truck up to spec. Your OCD is on full display, but in this case, probably necessary just to be persistent enough to get to whatever little glitch is making the problem in the first place. Looking forward to the next installment.

@bsmirnov Год назад

Last time I used jumpers was setting up IRQs on a Sound Blaster and a NIC some time in the 90-s. Jeez, I'm feeling old 👴 Seems like a proper way to easily configure a stand alone ECU for a 94 truck, though 👍

@pvman2 Год назад

8:14 I think you have stumbled on a video series idea! We would definitely watch you educate yourself about Modern ECUs and how to tune them. I envision a 5-10 episode series where you learn and implement this new found knowledge. No additional flexibility in your schedule needed. The ECU study IS the project. Then as new developments/products in the industry arise, your can do the occasional video. Maybe one where you interview significant people in the industry (developer, innovators, Techs, entrepreneurs, etc.). Give it some thought!! We'd watch it!!

@bmw328igearhead Год назад

13:50 NOOOOOOO don't mess with the throttle stop screw!!! Idle speed is set with an IAC valve, controlled by that fancy computer you just installed. Use the tune to set idle air control duty cycle, not set screws.

@joemanzanares8194 Год назад

When the temps here in the wintertime get below 20 degrees my 94 runs super rich as well until the system goes into closed loop. Hope the next episode comes up with a simple cure. The check engine light comes on as well.

Northern NH weather report: we finally had a nice fall which ended Sunday with a high 0f 60F. Today we got 60MM of snow. If the Ranger smells like NH it is probably Fall. You could always take a working vacation to NH and go to Team O'Neil Rally school.

@fredcheesemonkey Год назад

That's just an early pcm ford issue. Had similar in my escort. Wrecked that and went to 30 plus year old volvos before obd1. Back when bosch electric components truly lasted forever. I just have to add, I love that 90s color.

I have electronic things that still work perfectly that I purchased in 1971. TVs, Stereo equipment, car audio equipment, etc. I have a 1984 Amana Radarange microwave oven that's only required 1 light bulb change in 38 years.

@DennisMurphey Год назад

Outstanding Video I went through similar experience with a 98 Corvette LS1 when i put in a 2001 PCM and had to repin two connectors of 150 pins each then restart via security protocol. When the engine fired I ran out into the street about 10PM screaming "ITS ALIVE!!!!" and my neighbor yells out "Yeah we heard it start!, No go to bed!".

My apartment Microwave is from 1996, it's from the year they built this complex. Other than the handle recently broke it's a great old school powerfull microwave. Saddly about to get them to replace it with some other things as I been here 16 years and would like some new stuff lol.....but 1996 and it still pops popcorn like a champ.

Great job on the tuning. I have a megasquirt on my 78 Porsche 911 It's like having a Playboy Playmate of the year as a top mechanic technician.

@StingerPerformance Год назад

Also, note that this ECU has an "auto tune" feature so once you've got the wideband wired in and calibrated, you can enable this feature and once the engine is warmed up it will dial-in the air/fuel ratio for you while you just drive around. How to enable this feature and use it is also covered on our support forum.

@SarahnTuned Год назад

Yeah.. not sure if I’m going to wire it in. I’d have to cut up my o2 harness to add the 5v reference. I’m on the fence since this truck should be easy to tune with the external LC2.

@kevin-haggerty Год назад

I had one of these with stick shift and two wheel drive. I used giant slabs of marble countertops that were the cuts from a place next to the auto body shop I worked at. Loved that little truck and did pretty well in the winter with the bed loaded. and yes Sarah your channel still rocks.
