Apperantly the PCM or CCRM will not function without the EEC TEST plug in place. Eight of the 10 wires are in like pairs (same colors) so I'm assuming those are meant to be connected through the plug. With the plug cut off...no connection!

"What are you looking for in the EEC Test diagram, wiring colors or electrical function?"

I'd love to have both diagrams if they are available.

And Rod, I couldn't of done it without your help. I know it's extremely difficult to diagnosis without seeing the car... you probably would have made the right call within minutes of seeing the engine. But your posts here and with John's Sable led me in the right directions. Thanks a million!

That's great to hear! I'm not sure I would have suspected the EEC Test plug to cause your problem, but I'm not sure we're thinking of the same plug when we talk EEC Test plug. My recall of the EEC Test plug is the diagnostic connector for checking codes on a Ford. The plug is a 6-socket connector with only 5 of the sockets used. I don't recall multiple wires going to the terminals. See the diagram on the upper left at http://www.members.aol.com/Rod241473...uff/system.jpg

A close up, although out of proportion, view of the connector and wire colors can be found at http://www.members.aol.com/Rod241473...Stuff/plug.jpg

Great job on getting your car running again!
