Problems using search on this forum
I wasn't sure where to post this but....the search feature is not available very often when I try to use it.

Re: FORD Custom EPROMs and Address range information
I was asking further up in this thread: 6. There's a 5 bit ROM read-only input port built into these chips. The address of it changes depending on which chip and which address range is being used. Does anyone know if it's ever used, or what for, on any EECs? JSA answered: 6. ROMPORT I've seen it in ...

Re: A9L/A9M Schematic
Insomnia got me and I unsoldered the leadless glass diodes off of an A9S and measured them. Physically they are 2.62m OD around the glass and 5mm long end to end. I pulled off six of them and they are all identical. I tested the forward bias voltage with two different bench meters and got .59 on one...

Re: QH tune switch not working right
I don't have experience with this, but I think you could test out the switch with an ohm meter. I would unplug it from the Quarterhorse just to be safe. You can ohm out the end of the connector so as to be testing the rotary switch and the cable at the same time. If that test doesn't give good resul...

SFI-MA13 for use with GUFB
I've been wanting to try this for a while and will try out using TIP102 transistors for the missing injector drivers. I've harvested heat sinks, 36v 5watt Zeners, and 470ohm base resistors from an A9S so if there is any difference in the injector waveforms with the TIP102 transistors I'll know it's ...

Re: A9L Sequential or batch fire?

From my tracing out the base drive circuits of the injector driver transistors I've noticed 4 double diodes (sot23 packages) linking a small transistor t...

Re: A9L Sequential or batch fire?
The A9L doesn’t have a crank sensor separate. It’s incorporated in the Dizzy I believe that’s what the 8 windows in the shutter wheel inside the dizzy are for. Skinny windows being for cylinder number 1.

Re: 7015FB inside the SFI-MA12 and other EECIVs
I found a 5.0 V Voltage Regulator and Supervisory Circuit for Microprocessors that seem similar to Ford's 7015FB chip. It even has the 4 center pins grounded but maybe that is just an older trick for dissipating heat out of it. I'm NOT suggesting this is compatible as a replacement, just saying seem...

Re: 7015FB inside the SFI-MA12 and other EECIVs
Thank you Sailorbob I did some more reading, and it shocks me at how much effort Ford put into allowing the EEC to keep the engine operable during a failure of the 8061 processor. It seems to me the DUCE chips are almost as complex and possibly just as at risk of a failure. I can only imagine they w...

Re: 7015FB inside the SFI-MA12 and other EECIVs
I found what I think is the 7015FB in the Ford EECIV pocket reference on page K5. The pocket reference only shows the pinout and calls it PSIC.

7015FB inside the SFI-MA12 and other EECIVs
Does anyone know what the 7015FB 16 pin DIP IC is exactly? So far, I think its main function is to drive the large PNP transistor (04S75) that creates the 5 VDC power inside the EEC. I was tracing down the chip enable lines from the hex buffers that drive the injector transistors in a A9S EEC and fo...

I don't think you will be able to know for sure you have matched the specs because a datasheet for the 04S74 doesn't seems to exist. I found a couple 04S74's in some old EECs I have laying around and put them into my cheapy transistor tester, and the 04S74 is a NPN Darlington transistor. I would rec...

Re: Can I clone/copy a EEC-IV eeProm 87C66
This Data I/O S22 with the FORD 56K adapter is also able to electrically erase and program the 87F66. The 87F66 is an EEPROM that operates just like the UV erasable FORD ROMs. If anyone out there knows what EEC I could harvest one out of I would love to hear about that. I’ve looked inside quite a fe...

I would do a compare of the file saved from the BURN1 buffer, with a Hex editor and they matched. The Data I/O burn p...

Re: Fuel pump prime time pid?

Looking around in an untouched A9L.BIN I can see at 0x0A and 0x0B is a DE EC respectively. I tried to high...

Re: Fuel pump prime time pid?
Chucko, This hack interests me and I see 0x30f6 is 00 and 0x30f7 is 04. 400 in HEX equals DEC 1024 so if I replace the 04 at 0x30f7 with 16 it would be 1600 HEX and that equals DEC 5632 divide that by 1024 and I get 5 seconds of fuel pump prime. Based on the comments I think if the engine conked out...
