i have a 93 f150 4.9l 4spd and im wondering about switching it over to obd 2 if is is possible. i seen this truck at the junk yard that was a 96 obd2 and i checked all of the stuff and it said it was a 4.9l 5spd. is this possible at all or does it have different sensors?

 

I'm not real sure hope someone else can chime in but I think your VIN
reflects a OBD1.
I think OBD2 was introduced to make it easier at the inspection station
but they will stick the sniffer up the tail pipe due to year and VIN.

 

I don't think it is necessarily a matter of sensors. The OBD-I has the connector under the hood, on the passenger side firewall somewhere. The OBD-II has the connector under the glove box, below the dash. So, at a minimum you would have to relocate the wiring harness from under the hood to under the dash. And, I am not sure the computer is programmed to deliver the information via the OBD-II system.

 

that would be a very hard swap. may i ask why?

 

just wondering. would be nice.

 

what would be nice? you'd have a computer that needs to meet government standards

 

if i did this would i be able to buy those programers to set stuff to be able to get a little more power and gas mileage. or would this be to early for those programers?

 

those programmers are junk

swap in a v-8 w/ mass air from a 94-95

 

honestly with the I-6 your options are very limited unless you want to get creative. I think they have cams for those though.

 

i would like do throw in a v8. i got a 5.8l with 20,000 miles on it from a 88 e150. i think it would be nice. just cost some money
