This was the exact issue on my 95 F-150. I was having all kinds of strange problems, like the Check Engine light would come on when I started the truck and the engine would run very poorly and with barely any power. I put a new MAP sensor in, along with a new ignition control module, but those didn't help. Then the issue went away for two months, and then came back and got worse and worse. Then the engine would cut out while driving randomly. I was skeptical that the EEC was going bad since it was fine for two months until I came across your video. I checked, and sure enough, the truck was continuously priming the fuel pump. I replaced the three capacitors (at least two of them had leaked), and it fixed it. Thank you! Warning to others: the solder pads lift very easily, even without scraping the rubber coating off, so be extra careful.

Ha, ha, ha,,,,... THANKS for your personal input.... This is exactly what my 93 F-150 TRK is doing.....! All the steps you did I also did.. Plus,, I had to go through in a rear tank fuel pump R&R due to the FORD fuel pump recall. Due to fuel coming out of the service cap.. However I had a belief the ECM was failing. I plan to do a R&R ECM. The sad thing is getting quality parts from FORD on these old TRUCKS, they are not there. Only CRAP low quality SPECs from CHINA.. So my TRUCK is out of commission and I will buy a replacement rebuilt ECM..

Just had to replace mine in my 96 5.0 150. Would keep throwing o2 sensor codes, and we would keep replacing them, and they would just come back. It ran like shit intermittently, had low idle or too high of an idle, and overly long fuel pump priming. After replacing the ecu a month ago, I've had zero issues since.

I saw another helpful KZitem video similar to this one. I replaced both fuel pumps truck drove fine for 2 days. Then the idling misfire problems came back to haunt me again. So I replaced map sensor, upper intake gasket for the removal of the 6 injectors that were (Quality rebuilt stock 14lb fuel injectors w/ lifetime warranty), throttle body gasket, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump relay fuse, cap & rotor, coil, plugs checked good, ignition control module, tps sensor, IAC valve. Damn whats left to do...guess its the computer now..smh. The pump did sometimes stay on after I use my OBD1 scanner (which it can't read anything anymore). When it did work it gave a code 334 for the egr crap. I did a delete with a block plate and plugged in a sensor plug to throw off the C.E.L ..I'd hate to give up on my truck. I pulled out my ecu removed the back plate off & saw the 3 blue capacitors burned, rusted looking. I sent my ecu off to get it repaired. Hopefully this fix my problem. I love my truck and miss driving it.

When my last ecm died it did the same thing. Fuel pumps would never stop priming. I had a backup I had to throw in. Now that backup started doing weird stuff but neither of them were rebuilt. Just leaky capacitors I'm sure. The dead ecm had a cap that blew off or corroded on one side so it wasn't even a complete circuit anymore. With that ecm the truck would randomly die sometimes too. Or it would have a lot of trouble starting. I ordered up the wrong ecm supposedly and it ran the truck fine but the shift points were all off. 785881 cardone. Supposedly I need the 785883 or 84. That's the last 2 I've had that seemed to work fine until the capacitors leaked. Wish I knew the difference between the 10 or so different ones they used haha.

You probably have a weak fuel pump or the check valve in the fuel pump is leaking. when the truck sits the bad check valve lets the pressure all leak back into the tank and the few seconds at key on isn't enough to fully refill the line and generate enough pressure. Try cycling the key and let it prime a few times when cold and see if it still does it.

Its not that simple. 96s have a 1 year only EFI system. Many connectors are different including the EEC. They have a 96 only harmonic balancer and crank sensor plus downstream oxygen sensors. You can make it works but it takes alot of wiring.

OBS ford pickups had 2 fuel tanks. On the dash is a switch that can change between them. Broncos only had one large rear tank and the rear window switch takes the place of the tank selector switch. This issue will affect either tank, as the EEC is commanding the fuel pump to run regardless of which tank is selected. IIRC some older models had a low pressure fuel pump in the tank and a high pressure fuel pump on the frame rail.

@@pfun41 I can't find a fuel pump on the rail for any year, only tank selector switch, in dual tanks, each tank has a pump I'm finding. Give me year I can look up to find rail pump and pump in tank. Seems ford would have used one pump and directed flow out of secondary tank to be picked up pump, but then looks as if easier would be to pump gas out of secondary to main, except overfill issues., so far I haven't seen pump on rail, what year has pumps in tank and pump on rail?

Got an issue on a 1994 ford f150 4.9 L6. Cranks but won’t turnover, spray some carb cleaner into the air intake and it’ll turn over but runs rough. Checked entire fuel system and never found an issue (currently have the bed off for fuel pumps). If I try driving it, I’ve gotta slowly press down the pedal to build up speed and it won’t shift into 2nd expect for one time I got it to kick but no idea how it did as when I slowed down again, I couldn’t get it back up. Thinking it’s PCM? Any ideas?

PCM, left kick panel next to clutch pedal. Remove cover,a couple bolts hold in place to the inner cab structure. Then under hood (10mm bolt). PCM port plug (red in color). Back bolt out turning left with 10mm socket (2in ext w/10mm socket and 1/4 ratchet). Port plug is removed as bolt is loosened. Place port plug to the side, proceed to remove the PCM out from the fire wall up towards and out from engine bay. Make sure you get the right PCM that's programed to your trucks specific VIN.

UPDATE..!!! I got my truck computer (ECU) back 12/12/2020 installed it a day later. Good news is that the truck runs like a brand new well oiled sewing machine..! I couldn't be any happier. I crank the truck after installing the ecu and let it ran for 40mins and no change in idle, sound, anything. I knew I was good after 5-10min passed. So I'm convinced that was my problem despite replacing all the sensors, ignition components, fuel pumps, injectors also. With the age of my truck and the pristine condition I try to keep it in eventually those items would've been going bad so no need to worry about replacing any of items anytime soon. The fuel pumps definitely needed changing, but it didn't give me the symptoms like my bad ecu did. If anyone is in the need of their ecu repaired check out this company. www.ebay.com/str/zkboys
