E4OD 351 injected 94 help

[Damian2685]

Howdy all ,

I have limited e4od experience and resources here ,

I have a 351 with a bad e4od the only one I could get is the later version

Mine is 94 it’s a 96

my question is

Can I modify the loom or cheange the ecu to suit the trans ?

Or just go stand alone ecu for the auto ?

What’s my cheapest option ?
In d it’s in 4 and in 1 it’s in 2nd

So I can move it just not drive it

Check the shift cable. 96 gas should be plug and play.

The stir cable works great , the electronic plug is different on the valve body I’m told the ecu is different they changed the diodes or something

I am fuzzy on if there are any other concerns other than the design of the connector on the solenoid body...if you don't damage the VB gasket...what is stopping you from shaping up an earlier solenoid body and bolting it in...in place of the later body...??

It comes out seperate from the other parts of the VB system..

In d it’s in 4 and in 1 it’s in 2nd

this happens when you either disconnect the main harness connector or lose power to the unit or TCM...it is in manual mode...

No power to the shift solenoids...

Your supposedly 'bad' E4OD might not be bad, after all....

I overlooked the year.. You need to change the solenoid pack to a 89-94. Then it will be plug and play. 95 the E4 had a moderate overhaul. One of the changes was the solenoid pack.

The solenoid packs are in groups 89-94 and 95-98.

My original was full of coolant and dead!!!!! New auto is this one apparently ecu and valve body is different, and my old VB is bad!

Swapping the solenoid pack will fix the ECM issue. Any year E4OD will interchange with a couple of quick part changes.
