Yep. No dead spots. Gotta have your **** together, as the frost dissipates on it's own after a few seconds. It is temp sensitive, but non conductive.

I actually found a guy who will sell me a working ECM that matches mine for 120 shipped to Tampa. He said I can plug and play the ECM and if it is not the problem he will refund me 105 dollars including shipping.....How does that sound???? Pretty good to me.

Back to the freeze spray.....How long does it take for the actual circuit board to get hot? Is it immediate?

I decided not to do the freeze spray. I went to LKQ in Tampa with my gf. We walked around and did not even find one F150 with a 4.9 and a 5-speed. So we are already 4 dollars down in our search for the ECM. We drove down to Bradenton to see if that LKQ had some F-150's to pull from. It was about an hour drive in her 09 civic so gas wasnt that bad. I walked around and finally found a 95 F-150 with a 4.9 and 5-speed....I checked underhood and the ECM was still there!! What a shocker!! I pull it out and the first 4 digits matched but the last two were NC instead of NB. I was told that NA, NB, and NC are all compatible. After the gf put down the 50 dollars for it, we drove back to Tampa.....I connected the ECM and started the truck and.............IT PURRED LIKE A KITTEN!!!! "Rosco" was back to life!!!!!!! Thank you guys so much for your help!!!

How about that! What's next...Dogs & cat's sleepin together?

I hate to suggest this, but you might want to run error codes again after 50-100 miles. This time you have a good chance to see some 11's or 111's.

Maybe your truck was trying to tell you to start it.

Your engine is EFI, not SEFI. It can't identify cylinders. 10 is a seporateing code.

What do you mean by a "seporateing" code?
