How well does the Explorer ECU handle minor mods?
Specifically, b303 and 1.7 roller rockers.
I'm looking to make a new new harness, nice and short and clean, I have a second Mustang one here to use. But I also have a complete 1996 Explorer 5.0 harness and ECU. (..and coil packs, distributor piece, etc.) It has no PATS, if it did, I would use it for sure.
What issues would I have if I swap to the Ex stuff? Would it run okay?
I'm not concerned about the CEL, but truck currently has no EGR, no cats, T5 manual trans,etc. just worried about driveability.
I browsed around explorerforums, but it's tough to find the good stuff as a newb.
Any tips or pitfalls? I'd like to run it without a tune for now...
Anyone have a '96 Explorer EVTM? I'll want to check the pin outs from ECU to 42pin connector.
