OBD1 location

It is under the power dist. Center, picture below."Self Test Connectors"

Either that or you pull the cover off, but I do think the connector can be pulled out for easy hook up.

One of the terminals is a fuel pump test lead I will look it up when I get to the main computer. You just need to ground the terminal and test the pump and wires.

This is the by the book method, I will send the wiring diagram if you post your email, this will help with wire ID instead of using a breakout box, which I assume you don't have!
To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may
be at fault: fuel lines, fuel filters, throttle body, fuel pump or contaminated fuel.
1. No Fuel Pressure: Electrical Check. Install fuel pressure gauge. Cycle key from off to on
several times to check if fuel pump runs. DO NOT crank engine. Pump should operate briefly
each time key is on. If pump runs as indicated, service or replace fuel pump as necessary. If
pump does not run as indicated, go to next step.
2. Checking For VPWR to ECA. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA 60-pin
connector. Inspect connector for damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Install breakout box
and connect ECA to it. With KOEO, DVOM on 20-volt scale, measure voltage between test
pins No. 37 and 40 at breakout box, and between test pins No. 57 and 60 at breakout box. If
either reading is less than 10.5 volts, go to TEST A2 - VEHICLE BATTERY, step 1). If
both readings are 10.5 volts or more, go to step 5).

resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open circuit between FPM connecting splice and relay.
Rerun QUICK TEST.
21. Continuous Memory Code 95: Checking EEC-IV Harness. A continuous code 95 indicates that
one of the following conditions has occurred intermittently: Open circuit in or between the fuel
pump and FPM circuit at the ECA. Faulty ground circuit at the fuel pump. Start engine and
perform WIGGLE TEST on harness assembly to fuel pump, and to pump ground circuit
harness. Lightly tap inertia switch and pump to simulate road shock. Check for engine miss or
stumble while performing test. With key off, check harness connectors for corrosion or
damage. Isolate and repair any faults that are found, clear Code 95 and rerun QUICK TEST. If
no fault is found, go to next step.
22. Checking FPM Circuit. Turn key off. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect connector for
damaged pins, corrosion, or loose wires. Install breakout box and leave ECA disconnected.
With KOEO, connect a test light between test pin No. 8 and test pin No. 37. With test light lit,
perform WIGGLE test on FPM circuit between pump and monitor. Light should go out if fault
is found during WIGGLE TEST. Isolate and repair any found faults, remove test set-up and
rerun QUICK TEST. If no faults are found, go to next step.
23. Check For Short to Power. With KOEO, breakout box installed and ECA disconnected.
Connect a test light between test pin No. 8 and test pin No. 40. Observe test light, perform
WIGGLE test on FPM circuit and POWER-to-PUMP circuit. Lightly tap the fuel pump relay
to simulate road shock. Light should go on when fault is found during WIGGLE TEST,
indicating a short to power. Listen for sound of fuel pump turning on. Isolate and repair any
found faults, remove test set up and rerun QUICK TEST. If no faults are found, fault is
intermittent and cannot be duplicated at this time.
24. Continuous Code 96: Check For Code 87. If Code 87 is also present with Code 96, go to step
26). If code 87 is not displayed, go to next step.
25. Checking EEC-IV Harness. A continuous code 96 without an accompanying code 87 indicates
one of the following occurred during vehicle operation: An open in the BATT+ circuit between
the BATT+ and the fuel pump relay, relay contacts opened or open in the POWER to PUMP
circuit from the fuel pump relay to the FPM splice. With engine running attempt to cause a
miss or stumble while performing WIGGLE TEST on pump harness and connectors. With
engine off, inspect all connectors for damage or corrosion. If a fault is found, isolate and repair
it. Clear codes and rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, fault may not be duplicated at this
time. Clear memory codes, code 96 testing is complete.
26. Continuous Memory Code 87: Checking EEC-IV Harness. A continuous Code 87 indicates the
primary fuel pump circuit has failed during vehicle operation. Possible causes for this fault are;
An open in the VPWR circuit between the EEC power relay and the fuel pump relay, open coil
in fuel pump relay or open in fuel pump circuit. Faulty inertia switch. With engine running,
attempt to cause a miss or stumble while performing WIGGLE TEST on VPWR circuit
between EEC power relay and fuel pump relay. Wiggle fuel pump circuit harness (test pin No.
22) between ECA and the fuel pump relay. Lightly tap fuel pump relay to simulate road shock.
With key off, inspect ECA 60-pin connector for damage or corrosion. If a fault is found, isolate
and repair it. Rerun QUICK TEST. If no fault is found, fault may not be duplicated at this time.
You probably won't need this but this is basic testing on the fuel system, you have electrical issues of power to the eec and fuel pum relay.
DUAL FUNCTION RESERVOIR

1. Remove all lines from reservoir, note position and routing of lines and avoid fuel spillage.
Apply 3-5 PSI (20.7-34.5 kPa) of air pressure to return port (small diameter tube) on engine
side of reservoir (only one set of 2 ports). If air is out of only one port on the other side of
reservoir, go to step 3). If air is not out of only one port on the other side of reservoir, go to
next step.
2. Block pressure port (large diameter tube) on engine side of the reservoir. Apply 3-5 PSI (20.7-
34.5 kPa) of air to either of the pressure ports on the fuel tank side of the reservoir. Remove air
and apply to return tube on engine side of reservoir as in step 1). If the pressure is out of only
one return port on the other side of the reservoir, go to next step. If the air pressure is not out of
only one return port on the other side of the reservoir, replace reservoir.
3. Block engine pressure port of reservoir. Apply 3-5 PSI (20.7-34.5 kPa) of air to one pressure
port and the corresponding return port on the fuel tank side of the reservoir. If air pressure is
out of return port on engine side of reservoir, go to next step. If air pressure is not out of the
return port on the engine side of reservoir, change to opposite return port and repeat this step. If
reservoir fails, replace reservoir.
4. Remove air from pressure port tested previously and apply air to other set of ports on reservoir.
If the air pressure is out of the return port on the engine side, go to next step. If the air pressure
is not out of the return port on the engine side, check connection to return port. If connection is
okay, replace reservoir.
5. Remove any blockage installed in the reservoir. Apply pressure to the engine side pressure port
and note which port is open on the fuel tank side of the reservoir. Attach a pressure gauge (0-
110 in. H2O) to the closed pressure port. Block the open port on the tank side of the reservoir.
If pressure is present on the gauge, replace reservoir. If pressure is not present, go to next step.
6. Remove the pressure and gauge from selected port in step 5). Attach gauge to closed return
port. Apply pressure to return port on engine side and block open return port. If there is
pressure on the gauge, replace the reservoir. If there is not pressure on the gauge, go reservoir
is okay.
HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP

1. Check fuel tank(s) for adequate fuel supply. Check for fuel leaks at fittings and lines. Install
jumper lead to fuel pump test terminal of VIP test connector. See Fig. 2. Use a test lead long
enough to reach under vehicle. Install fuel pressure gauge. Turn ignition switch to the "RUN"
position. Ground jumper lead and refer to FUEL PUMP PRESSURE WITH ENGINE
RUNNING table. If fuel pressure is within specification, go to step 5). If fuel pressure is not
within specification, go to step 2).
Fig. 2: VIP Test Connector
CAUTION: Fuel system is under pressure. Before removing any fuel lines,
depressurize fuel system. See DEPRESSURIZING FUEL SYSTEM.
CAUTION: Fuel system is under pressure. Before removing any fuel lines,
depressurize fuel system. See DEPRESSURIZING FUEL SYSTEM.
FUEL PUMP PRESSURE WITH ENGINE RUNNING
2. If fuel pressure is low but greater than 3 psi (indicates pump is working), go to step 3). If not,
go to step 4).
3. Check fuel system for plugged fuel filter or restricted fuel lines. Check for low voltage at the
fuel pump (voltage should be with.5 volt of battery voltage). Disconnect fuel return line. If
fuel is returning, replace pressure regulator. If filters are clear, voltage correct and no fuel
return, replace fuel pump.
4. Ensure that battery voltage and ground are present at fuel pump connector. If circuits and
voltages are correct, replace fuel pump.
5. Disconnect grounded test lead and note fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should remain within 3 psi
for 3 minutes after disconnecting test lead. If fuel pressure holds, go to step 7). If not, go to
step 6).
6. Inspect for fuel leaks. If no leaks are found, disconnect and plug fuel return line. Ground test
lead and raise pressure to normal level. If fuel pressure now holds, replace pressure regulator.
If not, replace fuel pump.
7. Disconnect vacuum to fuel pressure regulator and start engine. Fuel pressure should be within
specification of FUEL PRESSURE WITH ENGINE RUNNING table. If fuel pressure is
correct, go to step 9). If fuel pressure is not, go to step 8).
8. If fuel pressure is low, check fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator adjustment, fuel line restrictions
or voltage to fuel pump. If all systems are normal, replace fuel pump.
9. With engine idling and fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose disconnected, measure fuel
pressure. Accelerate rapidly and note fuel pressure. If fuel pressure drops more than 5 psi,
repeat step 8). If fuel pressure does not drop, fuel system is operating correctly.
LOW PRESSURE IN-TANK FUEL PUMP

1. Check fuel tank(s) for adequate fuel supply. Check for fuel leaks at fittings and lines. Install
jumper lead to fuel pump test terminal of VIP test connector. See Fig. 2. Use a test lead long
enough to reach under vehicle. Raise vehicle and ground test lead. Use a stethoscope and listen
for pump operation. If low pressure pump is running, go to step 2). If not, go to step 3).
2. Disconnect test lead from ground. Remove reservoir inlet hose at reservoir. Place fuel hose in
one quart calibrated container and ground test lead for 5 seconds. Fuel level should be at least 6

Ounces. If fuel pump volume is correct, fuel pump is okay. If not, restrict fuel line momentarily
to prime pump. If no flow develops, check for blocked fuel lines. If no blockage is found, replace pump.
3. If pump does not run, inspect all electrical connections. Check inertia switch and fuel pump
relay for operation. If high pressure pump runs, but low pressure pump does not and voltage is
present, replace low pressure fuel pump.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Is the pump running now? Don't forget Ford has a keep alive memory(KAM), and after repairs are made you need to clear the KAM by removing the negative battery cable for a few minutes, unless you do this, the computer will not know you fixed the car and may not run correctly until you do. After clearing the KAM, the computer will enter a relearn and it will take some time to get back to normal. The wiring diagram looks large enough here?

Take an ohm reading across the sensor both hot and cold. Post result.

To prevent replacement of good components, be aware that the following non-EEC related areas may
be at fault: coolant or oil level, blocked or obstructed airflow, engine not at normal operating
temperature, or cooling fan.
1. Service Code 21: Check Engine Operating Temperature. Code 21 indicates that the ECT is out
of the 0.3-3.5 volt Self-Test range. Possible causes are: ECT resistance out of limits or faulty
ECA. If engine will not start, go to step 4). Start engine and run at 2000 RPM for 2 minutes.
Check that upper radiator hose is hot and pressurized. Repeat QUICK TEST before continuing.
If vehicle stalls, DO NOT service code 21 at this time, go to TEST D19 - SYSTEM CHECK.
If code 21 is not displayed, service other codes as necessary. If code 21 appears, go to next
step.
2. Checking for VREF at TPS. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect TPS. Set DVOM on

RTN. See Fig. 16. If voltage is not 4-6 volts, go to TEST A3 - REF. VOLTAGE, step 1). If
voltage is 4-6 volts, reconnect TPS and go to next step.
3. ECT Sensor Resistance. Ensure engine is fully warmed up for this step. Turn key off and wait
10 seconds. Disconnect wiring harness at ECT sensor. See Fig. 16. Set DVOM on 200K-ohm
scale and measure resistance of ECT sensor. If reading is 1300 ohms (240°F) to 7700 ohms
(140°F) with engine off and 1550 ohms (230°F) to 4550 ohms (170°F) with engine running,
replace ECA. Reconnect ECT sensor and repeat QUICK TEST. If readings are not as specified,
replace ECT sensor, connect harness, and repeat QUICK TEST.
4. Checking ECT Sensor Resistance With A No Start Condition. With key off, disconnect ECT
sensor and set DVOM on 200K-ohm scale. Measure resistance of ECT sensor and compare
with above ECT SENSOR SPECIFICATIONS table. If resistance is within specifications,
DO NOT service Code 21 at this time. Go to TEST A1 - NO START. If resistance is not
within specification, replace ECT sensor, connect ECT sensor and repeat quick test.
5. Service Code 51: Attempt To Generate Code 61. Code 51 indicates that the ECT signal is
greater than the Self-Test maximum value of 4.6 volts (open circuit). Possible causes are:
faulty ECT sensor, open circuit or faulty ECA. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect
wiring harness from ECT sensor. Inspect and repair wiring as necessary. Connect a jumper
wire between ECT SIGNAL and SIGNAL RETURN terminals of ECT harness connector. See
Fig. 16. Perform KOEO SELF-TEST. If Code 61 is displayed, replace ECT sensor, remove

SIGNAL RETURN at TPS harness connector. See Fig. 19. If reading is not 4-6 volts, go to
TEST A3 - REF. VOLTAGE, step 1). If reading is 4-6 volts, reconnect TPS and go to next
step.
9. Checking ECT Signal for Short to Ground. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect
harness from ECT sensor. Disconnect ECA 60-pin connector. Inspect and repair any damaged
wiring. Install breakout box, leaving ECA disconnected. Set DVOM on 200K-ohm scale.
Measure resistance between test pin No. 7 and test pins No. 40, 46, and 60 at breakout box. If
any reading is less than 10K ohms, repair short circuits. Remove breakout box, connect ECA
and ECT sensor, and repeat QUICK TEST. If all readings are 10K ohms or more, replace
ECA. Remove breakout box, connect ECA and ECT sensor and repeat QUICK TEST.
10. Continuous Memory Code 51: Check ECT Sensor. Code 51 indicates that the ECT signal was
greater than the Self-Test maximum voltage of 4.6 volts sometime during vehicle operation.
Possible causes are: faulty ECT sensor, open harness or faulty ECA. Enter KOEO
CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST. Observe VOM or diagnostic tester for
indication of fault while tapping ECT sensor and wiggling ECT connector. If fault is indicated,
disconnect and inspect ECT connector and terminals. If connector and terminals are okay,
replace ECT sensor, clear continuous memory and repeat QUICK TEST. If no fault is
indicated, go to next step.
11. Checking EEC-IV Harness. While in KOEO CONTINUOUS MONITOR (WIGGLE) TEST,
observe VOM or diagnostic tester for indication of fault as you bend, shake or wiggle EEC-IV
harness. Start at sensor connector and work toward dash panel. Also test harness from dash
panel to ECA in same manner. If fault is indicated, isolate fault in wiring and repair as
necessary. Clear continuous memory and repeat QUICK TEST. If fault is not indicated, go to
next step.
12. Checking ECA and Harness Connectors. Turn key off and wait 10 seconds. Disconnect ECA
60-pin connector. Inspect both connectors and terminals for damage and repair as necessary.
Repeat QUICK TEST. If connectors and terminals are okay, fault cannot be duplicated at this
time. Go to next step.
