Ok guys, I bit the bullet and tried to figure out how in the hell to test my
engine. I had not a clue what I was doing, so after some research at the
shotimes website, and a couple of deep breaths, I go to AAP and pick up their
little $30 actron scanner for fords. I hunt for the EEC connectors on the
wrong side of the car, and after 5 minutes I assume they hit the cats and
melted (like the site warned). then a light bulb went off and I checked the
other side... well wouldn't you believe it, they're in their own little
holster on the passenger side firewall. How convenient.
I plugged the scanner in and ran the KOEO test... got codes 511 and 176.
511 means "EEC processor ROM test failure"... I'm going to assume that's due
to a certain product from a Mr. Ted Breaux being installed... correct me if
I'm wrong (fucked). 176 means my LH HEGO is shot, and that appears to be what
was causing the CE light.
I ran the KOER test next, and got a code of 361... pardon me, but does
anybody have any clue as to what 361 is? I see a 341 and a 381 in the little
actron book, but no 361... got a good cylinder code and everything else. And
now I know how to run tests.
I suppose my question is now - what the hell is a 361? Any ideas? As
usual, all help is highly appreciated.
