If a failed engine computer is behind your stalling, no-start or loss-of-spark trouble, the A1 CARDONE ecm 78-8448F is a remanufactured engine control module built to take over that job. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1999-2000 Ford applications with the V6-4.2L engine: the F-150, E-150 Econoline, E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, E-250 Econoline and Econoline.
CARDONE designs its remanufactured electronic and powertrain control modules to deliver performance equal to or better than O.E. Reverse engineering shows how and why the original unit failed, so CARDONE's engineers can find and correct weaknesses in the original design.
- Tested for function: Each unit is checked with automated computer equipment or bench-tested, depending on application.
- Re-soldered connections: Critical components are re-soldered or replaced for solid electrical connections, intended to help prevent intermittent failures.
- On-car validation: Durability and performance are tested on the vehicle.
- Earth-friendly process: Remanufacturing cuts the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.
Specifications: One rectangular female connector with 104 male pin terminals. The module is flashable and has no removable PROM. Quantity per application: 1. The package contains the module and an instruction sheet. Mounting hardware is not included. Country of origin: Mexico.
Before installing, find out what caused the original module to fail. CARDONE lists poor grounds and power, a bad wiring harness and short-circuited solenoids or relays as common causes. The replacement must be properly flash programmed for the vehicle. If the vehicle has Ford's passive anti-theft system, it needs an on-car relearn.
