 Ford Fuel Injection 80 through 87 January 9, 2008
Very informative book. Covers the history of fuel injection on Fords from the years 80 thru 87. If you have a newer Ford than 1987, I would suggest you buy the newer version of this book namely the 88 thru 93 version.
DO NOT let anyone ship your merchandise by DHL! DHL does not have a clue as to how to find the destination! Then DHL winds up mailing it via the Post Office and the whole process takes forever!
 Excellent reference book December 18, 2007
If you're a 5.0 owner (88-93) this is a perfect book to help decipher what controls what and how. I particularly used it to measure and test voltages from various sensors to verify proper operation and resolve some issues. Nice book & definitely worth the read...
Not for tweakers March 4, 2007
But if you want a solid understanding of how everything works, so you can fix it, this is the single best book on the subject. It answers many of those those arcane questions that crop up when you're really digging into a problem. As many of us have learned, the error code is NOT a recipe for a repair. It is simply the place to start.
As an example, my F-250 4.9 started stalling when warm. I had also noticed an occasional gassy smell & my mileage had dropped noticeably. It also failed emissions on NOx. Later, I pulled a code pointing to the engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT). Since the problem only occurs when the engine is fully warm, I checked that strategy & saw that the ECT is indeed involved in managing engine performance. Probst describes the effect of a low or high reading, provides a table of expected voltage and resistance values at specific temperatures, and the pin locations on the connector.
If the ECT isn't the exact problem, there's enough meat in this book to figure out what is.
Last time I had to take my car into Ford, I found I knew more about oxygen sensor operation than the service writer. It saved me $150.
Best Book Ever Written About Fords EEC-IV Compuer System March 24, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
No matter what you want to do with the Ford EEC-IV computer (88-93) this is the book for you. This is a very indepth book that dosent just tell you how to do somthing but it also shows you why it does what it does and why it will do somthing else if you mess with it. He explains how everything works, from the sensors to the computer and then to the acutators, he explains how the work together and he writes very clearly so it is easy to understand and to put into action.
