Hi Everyone
Im from australia and i have a imported 5L Mustang motor
from a 1990 model.
Over the past few months it has developed asurge at idle, being in
australia there is little information on this motor, would anyone know where i could get a engine wiring diagram, ecu voltage chart, or has anyone else ever had a similar problem. any info would be great.

an austrailia 5.0 welcome

what did you stick it in? did you carb it or keep the efi?

AWatson

its in a 1982 XE Falcon. i kept all the efi running gear.

could be a varity of things, the ECU might be adjusting to the weather conditions, dirty MAF sensor, also the IAC could also be dirty, what about your fuel system? did you use a 5.0 fuel pump?

AWatson

fuel and everything is all matched to the 5L, ithought ecu related, so trying to find a wiring diagram or a list of ecu inputs and outputs to help diagnose.

dang australia mate! lol just joking. but have you thought about buying a chiltons or haynes manual? if you ever heard of them, they are the best and should have all those diagrams and all the rest that are needed. by the way, what time is it there? its 1:15 am here.

AWatson

thanks i will try and get one.
Its 5.15 pm here!

thats cool man. never talked to anyone from austrailia before. but its cool to see that your into the 5.0Ls, can't go wrong with a 5.0! and also for those manuals if you never heard of them check out amazon.com or something like that. not sure what ya'll have over there or what.
