I was faffing with the wiring loom on the Ford 2.9i cologne engine got a while ago, while i was fitting the loom i noticed this thing stickig out the back of the ECU, now i am not up on these things or wiring much a sit happens, now i know you can get tuning chips etc etc but can anyone ID this one, sorry not much to go by but its all i have.

Its off a 2.9i ford Sierra 4x4 engine ECU, 1992.

Maybe..... Probably best asking on the Fordpower forum as there are some real gurus on the EECIV on there. I know that you can stick various devices on that port to override the internal map in the ECU. I would suggest that there was probably supposed to be a heatsink on those blobs at some point.

Well they got back to me already, it is one of theres and a suerchip for the EEC, but they cant say anything more unless i had a 4 digit code for it so they can find the softeware program it was set to. Oh well, something to look forward to when its running, i am now looking at one of the software downloads so i can connect up to my laptop, this will be interesting as this i complete new game to me.

Sorry guys i thought i said that i had got all the info on it that i can but i havnt.
Well i spoke to SuperChips about it and the chap i spoke in the tech department said i am lucky to find one and still fitted to the ECU, they no longer make this spec as it was one of the first they did with ford,a sat first the ECU needed fettling to take a chip but although this is an early ECU it was made by ford to take these chips, there was a plastic cover on it which you scrapped off to fit the chip.
This chip will give make the car run richer, better throttle control and give 5-10 % more BHP and same Trq, so not a bad thing at all, he said to try the car without it and then fit it and see the difference and then decide if to keep it or not. In all i got a bargain with this engine, complete but for alternator, loom ECU etc etc, and with top range HT leads and plugs and now a superchip fitted, oh happy days ))))))
