unscrew the two philips heads slightly that are holding it own and wiggle it back n fourth until the meter reads between .6 and 1.01 volts on the green wire, key on, engine off.

take the screws out, pick it straight up, turn it counterclockwise like 30 degrees put it straight back down and then twist it back clockwise to line up the holes while holding it down. try to read it then.

Alright, figured out why the Coolant temp sensor, and ACT codes showed up, I did the test with the car cold and it was only 30 degrees outside. I am still messing with the TPS and BP sensor. The BP sensor is the on on the fire wall near the vaccum tree. Tell you what go to www.fordfuelinjection.com that place has a ton of information.

Well it ended up being the computer. Looked inside of it and 3 resistors were burnt. Oh well at least I figured it out.
