Ford 2.9 TFI to mS

Post by Die Fledermaus »

So I am attempting to do a closed hood microsquirt conversion, reusing all the ford sensors and loom, only adding a GM MAP/Baro. This is to fit my Bronco2 1986-87 2.9l

I'm stumped at the TFI interface/adapter, all seem really out of date and some what conflicting. There is space on the pcb marked for circuitry that is poorly documented.

And the current documentation is a little vague and missing artwork, jumping between MS-2 and almost micro-squirt. And has been unverified for many years now.

So I can't seem to find the micro-squirt to Ford TFI documents. Enclosed is where I am at after building the MAP/Baro loom, LED holes and boot loader switch. I am at the point to solder into the adapter.

Are you using one of the EEC-IV adapter boards we used to sell?

And is this the new plastic case MicroSquirt or the old version with the aluminum case?

The TFI module I use is the six pin grey, I think that is the most normal of them all.

Sorry, I've been on vacation.

You can use MS2/Extra code to run the TFI via the LED output - the regular code uses a 5 volt output that is not compatible with TFI.
