4 speed auto wanting to play Mister 3 speed - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

I've just sorted out my EA falcon, I put MPFI on it, it was CFI, so i pluged it straight in and it didn't have any 4th gear in the auto.
I went to my local falcon wreckers and got a loom connector that goes to joins the manifold up to the computer. There were some different coloured wires on the original connector, but i though that I managed to work out which was which, pulged it back in, and still no kick down or 4th gear, but it does idle better then before, where it was neally stalling at traffic lights and all, not it doesn't do that.

Can anybody tell me what they have done if they rewired their original wiring loom to fit to MPFI. By the way, you need to have a 4 speed auto to help me at all.

Thanks, Jason

Have you got the seperate auto control box (computer module) for the four speed?

Well my car is an EA II and I think that it does have that. Would it happen to be the black box near the steering column?

Make sure u connected yer Throttle position sensor for your gearbox. Remeber on the EA2-EB1, it is a dual gang TPS...

Oh bugger, that is where I have buggered up. I'm running the EF throttle body with a EF TPS :(

Still doesn't help me Karl - I need to sort out my TPS.

i made a post last night; it didnt go through.
have you got the EF TPS hooked up to the ECU?
i read somewhere that someone hooked up the same TPS that ran the ECU to the gearbox also. if you knew the pinouts on all 3 looms that should be pretty easy to try.

hope this helps

mmm, I'll have to try, but I realy would like to stuff around as little as possible and running 2 TPS sounds like the way to go, if had it all sorted out I would do it later on, but at the moment I don't want to do that, but it looks like it will have to stay this way at least over the neext week, cos none of the falcon wreckers in my town have what i need :(

galapogos01 · 10-02-2002, 04:57

how will you fit the dual gang TPS to the ef manifold? i assume theyd be different? thats why my suggestion... anyway, good luck, let us know how you go.
