Eec Iv "black Box" Required.

[fry61]

This muppet did a temp. battery connection to test headlamps & connected reverse polarity!! PONKER!! I believe this may have/probably killed the engine managment, can't run the engine at the moment (lots of bits to finish) but am looking for a good EEC IV just in case I've fried (FRYED) the present one, any help wecome,regards Bob.

Is that the pinto one or dohc as i have a dohc ecu you can have

[fry61]

The Ecu is marked Eec IV , think it came from an Escort, using all injection gear from that machine on my 1800 CVH; is the map different even if the box code is the same? My much younger engine buddy had the engine running on this set-up when we first installed it & now I may have buggered all his work.

I believe you will need the EEC-IV from the escort (or car with the same injection configuration) as the sensors/actuators are different.......

 

Probably worth a good check over anything else that might have changed since you last had the engine running though, I would be surprised if teh EEC-IV isn't reverse polarity protected???

Thanks Dan, that might be a get out of jail free card.

Hi

 

If its a EEC-IV I have one off a Sierra 2l pinto which is yours for free if its the one that you need.

I would agree with this. It wouldn't be difficult or expensive for Ford to stick a diode at a supply terminal to prevent reverse current for this kind of accident. I work in the automotive electronics industry and, although I don't know for definite, I think you may be OK.
