I've got a 95 EF Fairmont sedan, 4.0L auto, and I looked at my ecu earlier today coz im trying to find a new one, and my code is 4DCD, which according to this list is for a wagon... Should I be worried? And should I get the same code if I'm chasing a new ecu, or order one of the 4DCF ones?

The main difference between wagon and sedan ECU's is the transmission change possitions.. as for the engine side of things there is no difference..
4DCD and 4DCF are basicly the same thing, the 4DCF is just a leter version of the 4DCD..
I'd be chasing a 4DBx (x Being any letter) this would be much more common, and cheaper to buy, there is a guy on ebay that has heaps of them for sale, about $30ea IIRC...

Cheers man. So wouldnt I be best off chasing a 4DCF? Get everything back into line for a sedan? I've been in contact with that guy on ebay, looks lioke pretty much all of what he has is just as cheap. He's got 4DCD's, dunno about CF's tho.

4DCD is basicly the same thing as 4DCF any one of these will work, these will be fine aslo 4DCC or 4DCE.

5TDD = XHI 6cyl(coil pack) 5spd Man, Tickford LPG
you will need to locate another one the same, as nothing else will run the LPG, you could try a 4DAx (x being any letter) but the LPG wont work.

Yea cheers man. I figured they were, but read something about the gear shift points being different because of different diff ratio's or something. Oh well, the one i got in now worked fine before it got spiked, so one of those it is :)

I have a 4TFB in my EF1 XR6 wagon auto Jun95 build non-LPG. I think it's the original ECU. I haven't come across that code on Fordmods or anywhere else. Is there any meaning in the 'FB'?

Thanks

So, the code means:

4 = introduced '94, that is EF model
T = Tickford modified
F = XR6 Auto long wheelbase = wagon
B = second revision

Is this correct?

Why is the wagon computer different from from the sedan? The engine, auto trans, diff ratio are identical in the EF XR6. Which maps or settings would be different?

The auto shift points are different from sedan to LWB.

Which brings me to wonder why the auto shift points are different? Is this simply as the diff ratios are 3:28?
