1.0 Introduction
This kit was developed by Ford Performance in order to allow performance enthusiasts the ability to install our 2.3L 4V TiVCT GDTICrate Engine (Ford Performance P/N: M-6007-23T) into the application of their choice. The system supports use of a manual transmission only.
Note: Cruise control is not available with this system
2.0 Overview
This booklet provides a step by step guide for the preparation and installation of the controls pack. Please read the instructions thoroughly before starting the installation. If you have any questions, contact Ford Performance Technical Support at (800) 367- 3788.
The kit is designed for a running return fuel system and only one cooling fan. There will only be one battery positive (we will call it B+ from here) and one ground lead from the controls pack harness side, but you will need to provide your own battery cable connection from battery to in-line fuse.

FAQs

What system type is supported by this Controls Pack setup?

The system supports manual transmission only. Cruise control is not available with this system.

What fuel system requirement must be met for the PCM calibration?

The calibration does not work with a returnless fuel system; a return-style fuel system is required. Installing the PCM in any production Mustang vehicle will result in a no-start condition due to the fuel system requirement.

Where should the wiring leads be mounted relative to the engine?

The wiring that plugs into the PCM is integral to the wiring harness included with the 2.3L crate engine; the length of these leads dictates mounting location to be in close proximity to the engine itself.
