That vintage 5.0 diagnostic computer is so cool thx for sharing .
It sure is!
Thank you Matt a couple weeks ago sent my 93 A9L computer to get it repair, a week after got a call from Matt with good news, received computer installed it back and mustang started right away running like new, passed california emissions easily. Once again Thank You Matt for your gray job.
Great to know Matt at Fox Resto can fix our computers! Very good video!
Yes, we definitely wanted to share that and thank you.
I really love the stuff on this channel. I wish there was a guy like this in Vegas. And this mechanic needs his own channel!
They have one here, and are going to be posting how to videos on it in the future. th-cam.com/channels/nY6xRiPuH7j81jcgMytALw.html
Good video! Awesome info onnthe computers and the test equipment.
Glad you liked it!
Great information n its all good just take your time and when you're finally finish it would all be worth it keep up the great work mane 👊🏾
Agreed, it's going to be very satisfying when I get it fired up fr the first time.
hi! I saw your comment on Cathrin Mannings video! Love the info you’re providing on your channel You are totally crushing it #greatcontent
great video buddy! I love seeing the old diagnostic equipment. It looks like something from the 1800's but heck, if it ain't broke and it works, don't fix it! Also, funny seeing the SSP in "old format" vs. where it is today. Thanks for the video pal!
Gary! Man you stumbled onto an old one here. An oldie but a goodie I guess? Yeah that SSP man it feels like it's been on my channel forever now lol. Thanks buddy.
Good to know where we can get our computers repaired. Worth the time and effort rebuilding a mustang still remember the pride I felt when the starter turned over and she fired up sounds of a engine running not to mention those different smells will always be with. you.
That's exactly what I keep dreaming about and what keeps me going. Thanks Robert!
Awesome piece of equipment!!
Yeah man, I like how old school it is too.
Nice Matt! It takes time! I'm about 4 years in on my green car and 2 years in on my white car. Unfortunately, I haven't touched my white car since November of last year! Least you are making progress!!
Slow but sure. I hope you are having some better luck with your green car man! Two + projects at the same time are not always that fun LOL
Love the old equipment that's very cool
Thanks man, yeah it was pretty cool to see that thing in action.
Matt, ha! This is great! I actually have this problem right now. (Well before I got the engine knock, I'll address it after I sort that out). When my wife bought the car for me, the owner was explaining that to her but she didnt really understand. So for awhile I had trouble starting the car. Eventually, I figured out that I put the car in the on position and hear the fuel pump priming. It would do this for about 15 min. Then the car would fire right up. I replaced the pump and the relay, did all kinds of electrical test lol A few other guys on IG had the same problem. One of them said he changed his computer and it fixed it. He told me to try that. Now that I see Matt saying it. I'm sure thats what my problem is too. I'm going to share this knowledge. Much appreciated. Sorry for the long comment lol
Don't apologize, I read them all good stuff. Feel free to share and I hope that does fix your issue.
I’ll be sending my computer in
I think you'll be happy with the result.
Man, Matt has all the cool tools and equipment! I can't wait to see the SSP fire for the first time! Maybe I can plan a trip up to be there for it.
He does right! Yeah man that'd be cool. If we can't meet up before then you can bring my wheel LOL
@@GearHead704 😆
Yeah Matt needs a shop here in Central Florida
👆💯 😁 Don't know if he'll go back with the heat though lol
Very cool to see older technology working. I understand that Matt (FoxResto) had to do some work to it prior, but the older stuff was built to last like a tank. Some of these newer scanners are solid plastic and designed to fail. This was a very neat video. I can't wait for the SSP to be completed. I know that you will take us on a test drive.
Agreed and yes YOU KNOW we going to have that.
@@GearHead704 Does Fox Resto still do ECU repair???
@@billbudd784 Yes
Good contents as usual. It is going to be a very nice car bud.
Hope so and thanks!
"the right tools for the job" so important. That's a very nice diagnostics tool.
Does this monitor work for the '86-'88 Speed Density Fox's?
That's an invaluable tool.
Engine-Motor-thingy looks great👍
Hah hah, yeah that engine-motor thing ain't half bad LOL. I am pretty certain it works for Mass Air only.
Im here champ ✊🏾
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Are these guys still doing repairing ECU's? I am glad I came across this video. May be able to get my car back on the road. I'm having the same symptoms he described with the no-start and constantly running fuel pump.
Yes. You can reach them at 704 888 1278 or e-mail parts@foxresto.com
Matt knows his Fox stuff and sometimes Gearhead does too!😎
Sometimes LOL, thanks Willie!
A bad computer will have you going in circles. I did with my bad computer. Lol
For sure. Best to have it checked out to rule it out at the minimum.
If not mustang week, foxtober fest! Mine is almost ready and its coming off the ramps this coming week!
Nice! Hopefully mine will be there too.
I remember the old Rotunda EEC tester. How things have changed since then.
I don't think I ran into those, but yeah technology keeps changing for sure
I feel like Parzival from Ready Player One would use that computer lol. Such a cool computer. That was interesting to watch!
Love that movie! I thought the book was even better though.
Me too! The book was amazing.
I have to send my computer to this shop.
They do a great job with repairing it.
Good they change the pump and relay . Because cheap insurance for refurbished computer. I got rid of the factory computer long time ago.
Many are going to after market computer system for sure.
@@GearHead704 Holley terminator X
@@MrBlackbutang Definitely a popular choice
matt and matt😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Matt and Matt show.
I had a constant FUEL Pump run problem for a week. Now it does nothing. Gonna pull it out tomorrow.
Sorry to hear, hope you are all fixed up now.
@@GearHead704 I had to order a soldering gun for capacitors. Amazon said they delivered and it sure as hell wasnt to me. Thanks for the vid brother. I was about to pay 500 for one. I have the capacitors which were leaking. Just need the damn soldering gun. I miss driving my yellow slow shitbox. I daily it in the winter here in ohio.
@@GearHead704 I finally soldered my Capacitor in and she fired right up. Thank you. Im so tired of driving my 7.3 everywhere. Gas is 5.89 a gallon her for diesel.
Matt & Matt---Could one of you give me the site to buy the adapter plug so I could use that on my 351windsored 4-eye? LOL Nice +, to see Matt knows his capacitors from his resistors.
Hah, yes he knows those differences very well. I think Matt just saw this on ebay once and bought it, but I'll try and remember to ask him next time I see him. It's hard to remember everything now as I get a lot of questions hah hah.
That is a really cool old school diagnostic tool. Quick question is the injector harness from fox resto? I could use one of those.
Hey Mike, my bad. FoxResto does resell these. Here is the link www.foxresto.com/1987-93-5-0-Injection-Wiring-Harness-p/4787008.htm
@@GearHead704 Just ran across this video and clicked on the link for the harness but nothing comes up .
Yeah they sold them two years ago, but don't sell them anymore unfortunately.
I have a 1986 Mustang with a faulty computer. Would these guys be able to work on it? I checked their website and it said they work on 88-93 computers
That was a cool computer diagnostic tool it is crazy that he had to fix the computer diagnostic tool so he can fix computers lol.i wonder if there's a diagnostic tool that will diagnose the diagnostic tool lol wait yeah its called Matt 🤣😜👍🏻🚗💨
🤣 It's funny I was thinking the same thing. Had to fix the tool first LOL. I doubt there's much out there that Matt couldn't fix.
thanks guys I replaced every thing she run but smoke lots I will try new computer thanks again
I'm glad it helped.
Hi ,I have 1991 FOXBODY crank but no start , the spark on spark plugs are good and also fuel pressure is good but no power on fuel injectors ( I replace fuel pump, fuel pump relay and coil injection) .appreciate for any suggestion.
Hard to say maybe distributor or TFI module? Could be a lot of things. If you send your computer into FoxResto and there's nothing wrong it they charge a minimal fee.
iam swaping a 1989 fox body computer for a 1991 computer; any pointers
Still doing the computer repairs
Yes, e-mail parts@foxresto.com or call 704 888 1278
I have a A9M computer for my 92 feature car I bought a replacement computer but would love to have my original one rebuilt is this something you would be able to do it me it needs new resistors.
Matt could do that. Give foxresto a call or shoot them an e-mail. The info is in the description of my video.
Mine took a $h!t about a year ago. Didn't know until last week when i finally took it to a mechanic i know. Cost me $950 to replace! Isnt it plug n play when u get a rebuilt one?
Should be plug and play yes.
U should get the computer Chip proformeans for the ECU and the Chip for the transmission police interested an msd box it makes the spark plugs and injection fire faster and at the same time transmission shift better
I'm not familiar with those (obviously heard of MSD though). I've also heard a lot about the mega and micro squirt computers increasing in popularity lately.
It little chip plug in the ECU computer bored inside ecu computer box
Gotcha.
Dang finally 1st comment! Keep the great videos coming GearHead704
Very nice! Thanks I appreciate it.
Im normally always the 1st comment lol
That's very true Jay C!
Great self. I just got my self one but can’t find a overlay #26. Is their anyway you can take a close up picture of yours? I will be very much appreciated if you don’t mind.
Matt is planning to provide a computer rebuild instructional video in the future. Stay tuned he channel as I'll release details on that when I know more.
@@GearHead704 Is Matt still going to do a computer repair video? I'm interested!! Thank you Gearhead 704!!!!💯🔥👍💥
Dude what color is that I’ve been looking to paint my notch in it to look like the one my dad had when I was a kid
My blue car is based off of a 2003 BMW M3 I believe. If you want the exact paint code e-mail me 704gearhead@gmail.com
Cool
👆💯👊
Is their a website or address where I can send my computer for repair thank you for the info
It should be on foxresto.com
That was pretty cool tool!! I see cream is gone that's weird cause my 92 GT when I turn the key on the on position I don't ever think I heard the fuel pump I just prime it 1 time in the car starts right up the second turn of the key I might open the hatch up to see if I can hear the pump!! But my computer seems to be working fine cold start it idles around 1100 rpms maybe a minute or so it drops down to about 800 rpms dosen't bounce up in down!! Like I said before I haven't ran the car in over 2 years put a new battery in it turned the key once second time she fired right up for me did it's thing idle dropped down no surges or ruff idle in that surprise me I done cleaned 2 rats nest on my motor but when I get paid next week I am going to buy some rat poison blocks try to get most of the nest out it's hard cause of the upper intake try a shop vac in maybe a hose spray it out!! I wish the frame rails wasn't rotted out it's not a bad looking car the motor runs really strong! But I can't afford to fix it when u live on SSDI it's kinda hard that's why if I want a V8 notch a 4cyl 1 was the best option for me I mean I basically have a donor car in I have the whole 89 MAF engine harness I source out a really nice o2 harness it's the with the loop in it what is pretty cool about it u can just move the loop wire u can pin it to be used for a auto trans or manual trans but it's pinned for a manual trans I believe it came from a 88 California car when they started with the MAF! But I have a 89 head light harness I didn't want to take the chance on just extending the alternator wires all the way from the driver side to the passenger side on 4cyl cars the alternator is on the driver's side in I rather not take the chance of not the right size wire in my car catch fire after all that work! Even though I still have to wire it for the 3G alternator in the 130 amp fuse block! But like I was saying I wouldn't be able to afford a nice V8 notch prices are crazy but I had a really nice 87 4cyl notch fall in my lap for a few grand in some hard work I should have a pretty nice car when I get finished with I don't care if it's a original V8 car I will be paying 4cyl price insurance lol!! Maybe 1 day I will get down there to meet u in u can see the never ending project lol I am just waiting for it to blow up or the transmission to go cause it is on it's way so!!! But again sorry about the book Matt !! U guys stay safe!
Nothing wrong with a 4 to 8 conversion in my book, especially if you've get a clean 4. Almost nothing on my convertible is stock or original anymore. That's strange you don't have the fuel pump sound as I think i've heard that on all FoxBody's. Good luck with your build.
@@GearHead704 Yeah me to I can't ever remember hearing when I bought the car cause when I put the battery in it in turned the key I didn't hear the fuel pump like I said it's been over 2 years since I started it when I turned the key didn't hear anything I said shit fuel pump is bad then it fired up stayed running in it's been starting every time it's weird but it's running!!! Yeah I can't wait to get started on it bad thing is I don't have a garage it makes things hard just 1 thing at a time once the motor is in I will be happy !!!
How do I know which ECU I need if my speed density car has been converted to a maf
Typically A9L is for a manual A9P is for an automatic
I'M HOPING MATT STILL REPAIRS COMPUTERS CUZ MY A9L CRAPPED OUT!!! I just had this problem that Matt was explaining in the beginning about the fuel pump running on also didn't have a 5 volt reference no TPS reference or anything like that or diagnostic connector power etc... I remember watching this video a long time ago but I didn't remember exactly the beginning of it where he explained exactly what was wrong with my car SMH I needed a new fuel pump anyways so I replaced it and then inspected the computer 2 different times and finally noticed that one of my capacitors was literally just pouring out look like oil or something from the bottom of it onto the ECM board tried replacing that capacitor and the other 2 but didn't have any luck I think I might have burnt a Trace...
Oh no man, sorry to hear that! He does still repair them, so if you want him to have a look please give them a call. 704 888 1278.
@@GearHead704 I think I figured out what went wrong I have a little bit of a burnt Trace I'm actually going to be working on it today and if that's not the problem I'm definitely going to give them a call.. thanks Matt!
I have a issue with not getting power to the switch wire on the fuel pump relay the green w/ yellow wire. Could it still be my computer? I've replaced the relay the eec relay the ignition control module and jumped the fuel pump relay and got pump to come on with the car still not starting at 50lbs of pressure on the gas line.
Based on that description, I don't think it would be the computer.
@@GearHead704 I fixed it yesterday someone before me added another fuse link in front of another fuse link near the starter solenoid on the same wire and I got it fixed. Thank you
What’s you address so I can send my ecm to you to fix
The Fox Mustang Restoration address is 105 Pine Forest Dr, Locust, NC 28097
I have a Rotunda 007-0047. I am looking for a picture or scanned copy of No. 26. That's the overlay Matt is using with the machine. It would be a tremendous help to the Foxbody community if we were to get a scanned copy. Please help!
Did you ever find a overlay? the monitor he is using is 007000-18,is that what you meant or does the 007-0074 is also another number for the same monitor?
@@dntlss I found a overlay but not the same one he is using.
@@dntlss I found overlay 17.
@@dannyblea I tell you what, i just bought one of these monitors,its gonna be a couple of weeks before i get it but i asked the lady i bought it from to look around and see if she has that particular overlay, if she does ill get in touch with you and get you a scan or whatever you need.
@@dntlss yes that would be great. I can scan the one I have and send it
Wish I knew this a couple of Months ago I spent 500 on a computer
😩 sorry to hear that
I want to ship my computer. How would I pay for it to be done? Will they send me a link in my email to pay?

I would like to put in a comment about the work from this guy I sent my computer to him in 2021 just before he had his last show in Charlotte hey call me to let me know he received the computer that he checked the computer out and the computer was fine I ask Matt if he could change those three computer components I don't know the exact name for those but over time they start leaking and when they do if not caught in time it will eat up your board I do mine were okay cuz I had checked them but I wanted them changed anyway he said he could do that no problem I finally get the computer back and the computer is wrapped in white paper and it says warranty voted if opened well I need to get in there to put my SCT chip back in so I open up where I can put the chip in took my flashlight looked up inside I can see he changed those things for me then I looked underneath and I saw a wire so that made me open up the computer he had taken small wire and soldered it to different points on the back side of the computer which I have no idea why he did that but I knew I could not run my chip in the computer the way he had it set up so I put the computer in the car started it it ran like shit it fouled out my plugs every cylinder was loaded with gas I was having a problem with the car that was the reason why I sent it to him so I took the computer to a friend's house put it in his Mustang which I do ran very well the car started and loaded up with raw fuel he cut the car off and said your computer is no good put his back in fired right up I urge you not to send your computer to this guy he never called and asked me if I was running a chip in the computer he never told me he was going to do what he did to the computer I just spent $600 for another computer and had to drive 200 miles to get it I will never deal with this guy again
I'm very sorry to hear that. I do recommend calling them back, telling them what happened and I feel confident that will do their best to make it right for you. If you want to that is as you may not want to given your experience and I would understand that.
