    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    A major upgrade will be the 5spd but that means the diff change as well so its a bit of a project. As for tiptronic thats pretty much how its working now by moving the gear selector through the gears as you need to. The trans does keep a gear relative to speed but does not seem to correlate with...

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    Looking at the DIS in my dads truck. It is a 1993 Ford Ranger with the 2.3l 4cly engine and has 8 spark plugs. In my research I hear it runs these as a wasted spark set up being that for say cylinder 1 you will get a spark for the combustion stroke as well as a spark for the exhaust stroke...

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    The transmission kick down is not working. It up shifts through the gears well enough although early, and it does downshift accordingly with speed. I did retain the trans line pressure cable but she wont down shift with the gas pedal on her own. It's ok for me as I like shifting anyhow and...

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    Ok well I have driven this over 2000km's on a trip to some some glaciers near Jasper at about 7000ft altitude. Have been getting slightly better mileage than with the stock fuel injection. Power is adequate to cruise at highway speed and pass without a problem. There is definitely some more...

    don't know if your still working on this but i can i tell you that the stock wiring loom runs from the engine bay passenger side through the firewall boot into the cabin and along the passenger frame rail into the back seat area and along the edge of the bottom of the seats across to the drivers...

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    I appreciate the info, the Lextreme forum is a wealth of knowledge. I am going to try this with the tps, afm, temp sensor, all functioning. Waiting on some parts in the post, will let know how goes.. I'm actually liking the idea of using the stock ecu for timing as it is already there-...

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    Ok so lets say I am able to keep the AFM and TPS, but I have removed the fuel injectors and fuel pump. Does this sounds like the ECU will provide spark with advance?

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    I plan to use the splitronics for spark and transmission controll until the 5sp swap, but was hoping i could run it on the stock ecu for a while as funds become available. Would you think the stock ecu will run the trans only? Any way around the afm? I see an msd option as well with the cam...

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    I could retain the tps. Hard to keep the afm though. This is a bit of a stop gap in between some kind of spark management i have yet to decide on. Something minimalistic.

    Stock ECU For Spark and Transmission Management Only

    Hello Lextremists, I have a 1992 SC400. I would like for the stock ECU to continue to do the following functions. 1-Spark/Timing Management. 2-Stock Transmission Control. Do you think the ECU will still run spark if the only sensors connected are the -Crank speed, and Cam Position...
