ok, Vehicle in question is 1992 Ford Explorer 5 speed 4x4. 31x10.5x15 tire with 3.73 gears
Symptoms are backfire at low load/idle, seems almost like a skip and/or miss when cruising, Sluggish power, poor fuel economy (10-11 mpg) noxious excess fueley smell from exhaust. Cannot connect to OBD1 scanner.
I cleaned the MAF and changed plugs, wires and tested the coil pack. The failure to connect to OBD1 scanner pushed me to pull the ECU for a visual inspection of the board. I would like your opinion. The first 4 pictures show the overal case and board including the white corrosion on the ECU. The pins appear to be clean without corrosion to me.
The remaining three pictures show the ?test port I assume? As well as the spot that concerns me which is the square chip. Left to right I see a brown/tan build up and a black/green build up. The final pic is the reverse side of the previous chip
What do you all think? Do I need to order a new ECU?
