5 speed computer question.... Reply #3 – May 12, 2007, 08:39:35 PM That computer you have is from a speed density 87 Mustang with a stick. I think Dominator is right that it might cause a problem when you back off the gas. I think you would have better luck with it if you swaped over to mass air with a mass air computer. If I remember correctly Tom(TC50) knows quite a bit about the EEC. Quote Selected

Reply #4 – May 13, 2007, 12:39:21 AM I'll drive it tomorrow and see ho it does.If there's any problem,I'll go back to the '87 Stang AOD computer.I also have a Mark VII computer to fall back on just in case.The car idles great with the 5 speed computer,althought idling isn't driving.I need to just hit the road and see how she feels.

5 speed computer question.... Reply #9 – May 15, 2007, 10:10:50 AM They say a Manual eec in an Auto car will improve 0-60 times slightly.http://www.coolcats.net/tech/advanced/ho_conversion.html#computerQuoteBy the way, it is acceptable to use a manual transmission computer in an automatic car (but you cannot do the reverse). The timing curve and sensor adjustments are a little more responsive with a manual computer, giving you better throttle response and slightly improved 0-60 times. Quote Selected

5 speed computer question.... Reply #13 – May 16, 2007, 05:04:47 PM She doesnt stall on me, just bogs every once in a while. It's intermittent and could be caused by a slew of other things that need to be checked out first. Many people have used the 5 speed comp without issue in AOD cars. Quote Selected
5 speed computer question.... Reply #14 – May 16, 2007, 06:09:56 PM No issues yet.I still need to set the timing in the proper way.I did it by ear,and by feel.It's working well. Quote Selected
