I am getting ready to buy a used PCM. Evidently, there are basically two ways to buy one. First, for more money; " We require you to provide us with your vehicle identification number (VIN) and current ECM part number in order to program this part to your vehicle". Then, all I need to do is...

I am guessing that 3W4A is a 2003 4W4A is a 2004 5W4A is a 2005,,etc

I have started looking on the web for a PCM for my 2004 V6. On the label of mine, it has: 4W4A-12A650-ADA HBO-331 Some of the Ebay sellers have written that the HBO-XXX numbers have to match, while some have it that that code does not matter. Some of the sellers have PCM numbers that will...

Ok, as long as it is a transponder ignition key and has been cut to fit, it does not have to be programmed because it will be programmed by Forscan after(when) the new(old) computer is installed? Forgive my ignorance guys, Joe, you are helping more than u realize, dude

found a local mobile locksmith that will come and make me an ignition key for $90. Think I will go for it. Hey Joegr, that key and the valet will be good enough for the programming for Forscan, right? Just making sure before I get into this.

Oh well, I only have one key and it is a valet. That pretty much settles it. Thanks guys.

Got the call yesterday from SIA. My PCM has unrepairable internal faults. Bittersweet. At least I know why we could never get it running right. Where do I go from here? Is what I am thinking to myself. Every thing works on the car, even the cooled seats. I am not sure of the trans though...

Forscan got where it would not pick up on the pcm most of the time. I tried a couple different obd2 scanners with the same results. I sent the pcm off to have it refurbished at SIA. It is worth a try. Don't want give up yet

Got my Forscan codes, maybe someone can look over these and maybe help me determine what put this car in Failsafe mode. It is the 2004 V6. The car has only been ran probably 30 minutes and only driven 400 yards since the battery has been installed PCM: P1000-FF ,P2100-FF, P2104-FF, P2107-FF...

Took the known working MAF sensor off my Mustang and bought the correct battery for the Lincoln. It will now start and run every time now. We got it off the jackstands and drove it down the driveway. It would only do 12-15 mph along with a some shuddering and surging. I'm afraid it is going...

Cleaned the MAF sensor and the car will now start and run with it plugged up. It surges with it plugged in or unplugged. I guess it's time to buy a battery and a MAF sensor. Any thoughts? At least I can get the codes now

Hi again everyone. As previously stated, I bought this non-running project 2004 V6 a couple months ago. It would only run for 1or 2 seconds and die. I took the battery out of my truck and tried it with the same results. But I took the MAF connector off and it will now stay running, surging like...

Thanks joe

I found one of the wires broken on this sensor while changing the plugs. I have the new one, but need to know if it needs sealant. The original one has no signs of it.

Thanks, is there a way to tell if a car is in failsafe mode if it won't start. Will it always show the phrase or code on ,the screen when you turn the key to acc or start?

I have the cowl off now. I guess I will have to fabricate a seal. Does anyone know the Ford part # for the gasket? to keep water out?

Yeah already tried that with no effect. Thanks for the knowledgeable reply

Yep, looking at them a little closer today. You are right on the spot

All three on the driver side look like this to different degrees. What could be going on here? I can't see the other 3 yet.

I have been on here a few week lurking and trying to learn a few things about the characteristics of these cars. I feel like I have gotten in over my head right now. I have purchased a non-running 2004 LS. The previous owner said it was running OK a month ago, then the trans started slipping. He...
