Have you tried a code reader to see if the ECU even responds? Maybe that went out.

I followed most of these steps. One of which is testing the spark signal from the ECU to the coil and it passed. But I'm still worried that it might be a computer issue.

What about the MAF? If the connection is bad or sensor is broke will it run at all? Air inlet temp sensor?
By chance did you hit a puddle and cause a short?
Is there a cam position sensor as well? I would think not on a pushrod v8.

No MAF.

No puddle jumping lately.

There's some sort of Cam position sensor under the distributor cap. I might try that, what's another $50...LOL.

I'm going to focus on getting this guys Shelby out of my garage over the weekend and worry about my truck after.

I wish I could help out with the headers.....Tomorrow Autumn and I are taking a weapons test. You would most likely be finished before I even got there.

I appreciate the thought. Mike and I are going to work on it some tonight. I figured he'd like sone wrench time since he doesn't have a Mustang to tinker on anymore.
