I spent 10 hours trying to reflash the ecu to become a manual because it would not rev past 2000 rpm because it was looking for the 6 spd auto and it wasn't there
well I finally figured it out and now revs to 6000

if u want to turn security off just find someone with tuning software and disable it
usually costs couple hundred bucks to turn it off then u just have to ire up the engine and ecu and it will start

if its an auto ecu and u need it manual then u need another piece of software and dongle
or take it to your ford dealer as they might do it if they feel like it

once u get it running u need a module for the tacho and fit some sensors to the engine for your gauges and your done

hey sevenohms u got yours running yet
does it bring up any error codes and does the dash bring up any warning lights
I know on the ve commodores if some of the factory modules are missing the dash brings up warnings and rings bells which is annoying

hi sideshow, i'm running the dash from the donor as the driver for the lights on the dash. it has lots of codes, but none that affect the engine, and with the tuning software I can turn off the ones that aren't required anymore.
