Great video , I have a 350 Eco. Van with a mild rough idle and intermediate cut out ( like I’m cutting power to the ignition coil) already R&R’d all secondary ignition components , distributor pickup coil and ign. module.. with zero change . I’m going to try this cap. R&R , Thanks !
Hey, sorry for the delay. I don’t have experience with that engine, but I would imagine that the EEC would be in the same location and removed in the same way.
Hi Rudy, thanks for your question. To be honest I do not know. I researched my issue and found multiple forum threads that indicated the leaky capacitors as the cause. I finally jumped in and took you all for the ride. I suggest a Google search might result in others that have had similar issues and their solutions. Good luck!
Ecu has nothing to do with temperature or other warning gauges. The temperature sending unit operates the gauge . Similarly the oil pressure sending unit operates the oil pressure gauge. The coolant temperature sensor tells computer what temperature coolant is . Air charge temperature sensor tells computer the intake air temperature . The map sensor for intake for intake vacuum . And maf sensor for air flow on maf systems. Remember sensors work with computer, sending units work with gauges
Rudy, You may have a failed open thermostat. I had that happen on my f250hd 5.8L, you can order thermostats as a failed open, failed closed or Std. make sure you get a gasket and sealant, scrape the surfaces clean and remember which end was in the motor side of the housing when reinstalling or just take a picture while taking it apart.
Hi Chris, Thanks for watching. I removed the conformal coating manually. I used a micro spatula and carefully scraped it back. There is most likely a better way, but this is what I did. The capacitors I purchased were: 2 ea., A9341, 47uf, 16V, electrolytic, 105 degrees 1 ea., A9332, 10uf, 43V, electrolytic, 105 degrees Please note that another viewer commented that I left the legs too long and they will be more prone to break. If I have to do this again I will take his advice and solder in the capacitors closer to the board. Good luck. Kirk

@@wilfredomaldonado1779 Hello Wilfredo, if I understand correctly you are asking where the computer is on a 97 F350. This I do not know. I believe that 97 is a newer generation.
Thanks, I was able to re-cap without removing the board from the frame saving me a lot of time.

Thank you. I hope that it helps to resolve your issues.
Thanks for everything I did and help me a lot …..!
I am glad that it was helpful.
Where is the EEC in a 92 f350 with the 7.5? Does it pull out from the interior or from under the hood behind the tire well

Same location no matter what engine you have
Would one of these capacitors be the cause of the temperature gauge not reading hot enough? Like the gauge never going to the middle?

Most of these trucks read just into normal range ,unless outside temp is really hot and humid and ac is on

could be a fan clutch stuck running.
How did you clean the board where the capacitor leaked? Also, what was the values/ratings of each capacitor you changed? Thanks! Great video!

@Kirk Jackson it's drivers side firewall remove inner fender to pull ecu out engine compartment
Where it that located ? Under the hood or inside the cab
Access through the drivers side wheel well. The ECU is in the cab, but is removed through the firewall, from the wheel well.
@@actionj2k6 I've seen these removed from inside the cab after removing the kick panel.
You shouldn't stick the capacitors so far away from the board, the vibration will break the legs.
Thank you Nathaniel. I was not aware of this. Next time I take the ECM out I’ll look for evidence of cracking.
