ive got a problem ive been working on for a while that i cant take anymore. my truck is a 96 f150 4x4 with a 5.8 and e4od. truck was caught on fire before i got it and i had to replace the wiring harness. it took me 3 months of searching to find something that works but what i have isnt right. the harness is out of a 96 f150 same as mine but had a 5.0. everything matched up until i got to the 3rd o2 sensor. i didnt realize 5.0s only had two and mine has 3. so the cel is on and all that good stuff. any ideas? would the 5.0 computer work for my 5.8? any suggestions would be great. oh and ive looked everywhere for a 5.8 harness. cant find any in nj pa ny de md.

 

'96 5.0 and 5.8 harness is the same. I don't know why the harness you got only has two.

 

I can't make anything out of this, maybe you can, hope it helps...

 

5.0s only have two o2 sensors though. I either need to find the right harness or maybe somehow tune the computer to think it doesn't have a 3rd sensor.

 

my 96 5.0 has 3 o2 sensors, only thing i can think of is the harness is out of a 95. which o2 sensor can you not hook up to? the one after the cat?

 

The harnesses are the same, both have three.

 

if he only has 2, then either he didn't find the one after the cat (extremely unlikely) or his truck is a 95 which only had two o2s

 

I am not going to add to the arguement about the harness, I would match the computor to the harnes, then let the 3rd 02 go for a ride.

 

Regardless, any O2 sensor after the catalytic converter is absolutely useless being the government's snitch. They act like they care making money and controlling emissions but allow a nuke plant to be built on a fault line then pump millions of gallons on meltdown reactors so the oceans can spread the radiation globally. Don't even get me started on the BP media blackout with anti-freeze dispersant, sinking the oil into an abyss. Anyone who sees past their attempt to create a global environmental disaster, bringing us into a one world government, needs to open their eyes, IMO.

Enough ranting, if you can solder and read a wiring diagram, a 555 timer circuit can built for under $20 so it can switch between .4-.6V every few seconds, fooling the computer. Here is an 02 sensor simulator based off the famous 555 timer.

 

I'm not that good at all that wiring jazz. The truck runs fine and everything but I need my cel off to pass inspection. Still got an 05 sticker!
