I read the link to the trouble codes and the EEC-IV testing. I don't
understand what troubles my mechanic would have been having. I am going
to drop by and ask him if he recalls. It sounds pretty straight forward
from what I have read in your link. Is it possible that my system would
not output codes? As I recall he needed to know some specific
information about the car, engine, or computer that was not immediately
apparent to him. The people that installed the wiring said that it
should plug into any diagnostic with no problem. I do understand more
thanks to your post. It looks like I should focus on getting those
readings. Is there anything you can think of that would effect whether
those readings are available? For something that seems simple, my
mechanic seemed confused.
A company that is no longer installed my wiring and computer. They said
it would work just like mustang.
My mechanic is a local man who seems to have good experience, but was
not having any luck getting codes. I am not sure why.
