  1. Help with 1990 f150, have searched, black smoke running rich

    I actually happened to have a spare egr switch. When I did the swap a year or so ago I kept all the solenoids and switches and coil just incase, it worked though! Running with no cel, you should change you’re name to the eec-Iv whisperer lol.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So the ecm showed up yesterday but the gasket for it going through firewall basically fell off- I glued it back in with some e6000, and set the plug into it to keep it in place, this morning I got the ecm in and fired it up, instantly shot to the appropriate high idle for cold, no smoke, no miss...

    So hilarious turn of events, not directed towards it miraculously working but rock auto up dated my shipment, and they changed the delivery from this Tuesday, to oct4 so I decided to check amazon just for the hell of it.
