Would anyone, by any chance, have a Ford EEC-IV A9L computer they could express me for this Saturday? I can pay, but there's nothing to be found around here and I'm in a tough spot.

Diddling with the Wife's car, and it is dead. Don't know what I did wrong! Crap.. Fken Ford... Shoulda known better...

 

what year and model of car ill call around here for you im in ford country

 

1992 Mustang LX 5.0 Hardtop 5-Speed. Thanks!

 

LOL! I go through this all the time at work. There are two style PCB's for the A9L and most of the older Ford ECM's. The older style uses more external components and I think the PCB is a Motorola. The newer ones use mor IC's and are GTE or something. Obviously the newer ones rarely go bad but the older ones tend to go bad right around an electrolytic cap. You can usually see it oozing some green stuff by the leads and the burn spot on the PCB.

 

Guess what? (C) 1989 Motorola... Has 3 electrolytics, but no evidence there or elsewhere. This looks to be a 3-layer board. Everything is kinda coated with this reddish rubberized clearcoat. Creepy.

 

The board has been coated with a conformal coat to keep out moisture, and to limit corrosion. Work with the stuff all the time.. and yes its nasty.
