Q: Correct 1987 computer?
Ok, I just got a call from my friend who bought my 87 Saleen.The car was completely stock (still had air silencer etc.)Car ran great,no issues.He is installing a Vortech on the car and is converting it to mass air.Now he is not one to bs,so I believe him.He said when he removed the factory computer it says Taurus/Sable 3.0 Did Saleen switch computers? and should the car have even run with this computer?Just curious,I never heard of this before.

No they didn't swith computers so someone did.I have witnessed the model computers in mustangs because they are reprogrammed.

Where did it say that on the ECM? I have never seen marking for what its for on the ECM. Is it a sticker, stamped or did some one take a magic marker to the Computer? And it wouldnt run with a Sable ECM in a Mustang.

Coupe
Post the sticker and I will be able to decode the date etc. to see if Saleen may have did that by chance.Computers are reprogramable.

I bet his ECM was a core somewhere and has been re programmed. NO way it would run on a V6 programming. Just have him start looking for a 9AL ECM.

Thanks for the input,he has already got a new computer.I think it was reflashed sometime before we got the car.

1987 computer
You are correct some 87 saleens had the tauras computer as did my 87 they were the same ones used in the saleen race cars. This is coming from Kenny Brown. He had a big part in the Escort racing cars.

I remember hearing that about the computers in the race cars as well.
But is it possible this was a Ford thing in 1987? That the cases were labeled Taurus/Sable by the supplier by mistake? http://forums.corral.net/forums/eec-...ed-my-car.html In the above thread, several people mention finding the same computer in "non Saleen" 1987 Mustangs. |
