Ok. I guess that is why I didn't see it. Do you have enough of a def file to turn off the rear o2 sensors for cats delete? I don't see it as a performance type vehicle that I would need to have a fully blown out def. I could just send you the bin file from it to do it since I now have and know how to use the PCMFlash software with the Scanmatik 2 Pro. PM with what you can do. Some bright individual cut the catalytic converters off before we purchased the truck. Thanks!

I clicked on EEC MASTER HARDWARE LIST which showed a list of strategies to download. Then I clicked on PCYL4 and it brought me here to this category. I'm wanting a bin and xdf file that will work on my wife's truck.

It worked. It started right up, and I ran it at idle for a minute before 2 easy vroom vrooms. Definitely not WOT! I undid the battery and hooked the stock one back up. Then nothing. (battery needs to be hooked back up too). Glad to see that I didn't have to pop the PCM out of the cowl pocket. Thanks for the continued help and info.

I think that I got it. I went to settings and configured them such. The next test may or may not work. My current "driver, beater" is a '97 V-6 4.0 SOHC. The PCM is from a '98 4.0 OHV. I'm going to see if a 4.0 SOHC engine will run on a 4.0 OHV program. An Explorer friend said it will work. I'm about to see sometime today. The firing order is the same so I don't think I will mess anything up trying. The stock PCM will be put back in after the test.

Late yesterday, I had on the bench before me the $20- '98 Explorer V-6 test PCM. Almost 2 weeks ago it was the very first PCM that I "read" with TunerPro RT and the Moates Quarterhorse. The next experiment would be to convert the 256k 0-1-8-9 bin file to 224k 1-8-0-9. After conversion "write" it back over itself in the test PCM. My results were an unsuccessful "write". I got this message and another. The pics may not be in order. I really didn't expect any issues. I assumed, (and I have had to assume a lot during the "learning" process. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm not),
I assumed that the bin file converted from TunerPro 256k to PCMFlash 224K that it would be a simple process to write it back over the original bin file contained within the PCM. I'm glad that I do have a test PCM to experiment on. Also a question about PCMFlash. In using module #29, when the program is open, on the selection list it says EEC-V 216k. I didn't notice that during the first 2 PCMFlash OBD2 reads. Is there a 224k vs 216k issue? or does it just say that being "European" software? The read files are 224k. Thanks for the continued guidance.
ADDED:8:37 central Is part of the problem my "test" PCM? Is it technically a 1997?

Thanks, I get it now. I was getting dyslexic trying to bank swap manually. The Bank order swap utility works well.
I have a lot to do mechanically on the engine and then an involved segment, combining a '97 Mercury Mountaineer, 1999 Crown Vic powertrain control harness in to one hybrid harness to fit the MM. At that time, I will continue to post the progress in the garage & build category. After it is running, I will work on the tuning aspect of it. From run time, I anticipate it taking several months to be able to tune it effectively. Thanks to all of you guys for the help.

So, after reading a 1999 EEC-V PCM with PCMFlash software and want to convert the file from 1-8-0-9 224k, to 0-1-8-9 256k, so that it can be edited with the TunerPro software. Then when you want to use the OBD2 port and PCMFlash software, convert the 0-1-8-9 256k file to 1-8-0-9 224k, before flashing through the OBD2 port.?

I hope that this is an appropriate category for this post. Maybe all of you experts won't tire of all of my beginner posts.
ADDED: Maybe this should be moved to "Addtional Support"
I finally got to the point hardware, software etc. that I successfully was able to use the Scanmatik Pro 2 device along with PCMFlash module #29 to read an EEC-V PCM via the OBD2 port with my homemade bench box, "black box".
After my money was refunded for the Drewtech Mongoose PRO for Ford, I purchased the Scanmatik Pro 2 from ECUTools. It was recommended by them to use with PCMFlash module #29 that came from them too. The test went well and read an entire 224k bin that the software said that all of the checksums are correct, or however you say it. Here is the bin if Michael or anyone want to check it. The name of the file isn't a very complete name. When I tried to add the date to the file name, I wiped it. It is from a 1999 CVPI P71 ARA1 PCM that may have been dealership flashed up to an ARA3.
I opened in a hex editor program and I can't see how you can tell that the banks are swapped.

Thanks, Michael, for the guidance. In the tight spot I was able to use a dull Exacto blade to scrape the plastic and then a wore out Emory board to finish cleaning. I'm making sure not to get carried away and go to deep and get into the printed circuit.
I noticed that the first iteration of the EEC-V, the 1998 Explorer PCM, it reminded me of pictures of the Moates QH install in an EEC-IV as to where some components had to be folded out of the way. In the '98 PCM it looked like a crystal oscillator, had to be folded over a bit and a barrel shaped capacitor wanted to interfere with the Moates cable. The 1999 Crown Vic PCM, 2nd iteration, CRAI8 in the hex code right above the copyright, It looked several years newer design than the one a year older. Absolutely no component interference.
Is the 2003 the 3rd and final version of EEC-V or is there a 3rd and fourth, 2003 being the fourth?
