Thanks a million for sharing this!!! Saved me so much time and frustration. I was already cussing just looking at the computer 🤣🤣🤣
lol, glad it helped you
Good stuff to know! Thanks, man. Merry Christmas.
Thanks., Merry Christmas
Good to hear you’re feeling better. 👍🏻
Thank you!
Much needed info,thx for sharing. I guess there's still alot older videos that I need to check out..I wish u ah speedy recovery mann.
Thanks very much, I actually started uploading my old ones on FaceBook, but some of them are really bad LOL. Thanks for watching.
Awesome bro🤘
Thanks Mang! 👊
I just used this method to remove my '89 5.0/5-speed computer. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Great video and lead on a EEC-IV computer repair. I need to get mine out and this will help me a lot.
Glad to hear.
I just rewatched this as I’m about to do a blower motor! Thanks for sharing! Great video as always! 👊
I literally threw this one together at the time from old footage and almost didn't put it up, but glad it help you man.
Was it a struggle putting it back?
Good Job
Thanks Chris.
Fox resto rebuilt the computer for my fox wagon. Had a #1 injector diode go bad. So it kept firing the injector without the car even running. Great info.
Great to hear. Matt is awesome at rebuilding the computers on these.
All those beers you've had with me in the live streams lol I'm looking forward to some videos and ride along with the truck !
You've got that right! Hah hah, ok i'll definitely do one of those at some point!
I have lots of respect for Matt and his knowledge however it is MUCH easier to undo the bolt on the plastic retainer that holds the computer in, push UP on the computer slightly, unbolt the wiring from the bottom of the computer, unplug the harness and pull wiring aside slightly. Computer then literally will drop down and out with ease. Just another way to do it.
I will talk with him about this.
A little late here, but thanks for the video! Getting ready to pull mine from my 88 5 speed to replace it with a Holley HP, this should make it much easier.
Hope it helped
I never knew this, thanks. With any luck though I’ll be putting a Holley terminator X under the seat. I appreciate all your videos.
No problem. I hear that's a pretty good system. Good luck with it.
Decided to check the condition of my computer today. Thanks to this video I knew the best way to do it. It seems my blower housing has been out before though as there was only one of the 2 bolts on the bottom and it wasn't an 8mm as Matt mentioned in the video. But the computer looks good. gonna clean the blades of the blower off before i put it back in. And also going to explore the idea of retrofitting a cabin air filter for the outside air.
Glad it helped. The retrofit sounds really cool, hope it works out well.
Good job on showing how to on removing the computer the right way. That blower motor is super easy also compared to a lot of cars. Tar Heel Fox looks fantastic after the detail.
Yeah no big deal, it's the heater core that every one hates right? LOL. Thanks man, I just need to get that engine in her and i'll be good to go.
When it comes to locating hard to find things I'm the proverbial hound, I'm sooo gonna find me one of those Rotunda diagnostic machines,they look so cool,reading on the net i found a guy that had bought one on eBay with all the accessories for 30 bucks,lol , most people dont know what it is and being so old they think its junk, i think its a great diagnostic machine if you have one of these cars or any old Ford from the time period.
On the subject of finding scarce items,OEM Heater cores for these cars are getting impossible to find,a few months ago i found one chasing a rabbit hole in a little shop in California,brand new in the box for 80 bucks,been siting in the guys shop since the early 90s, couldn't believe it, when looking for rare stuff the best advice is... dont give up,devote a hour everyday to chasing leads and you'll find it eventually, this video made me want to check my ECU, it has been in my 91 since they built it, untouched,ive been having strange issues every so often,sure enough, 2 of the capacitors are on their way out, thanks for the video man, awesome as always.
Another Good *How To* vid. I noticed some months back you edited your Outro of you Driving the SSP into Matt's garage. I always got a kick out of seeing you Pushin' it into his shop. LOL
Yeah, I change the whole video, however, from time to time I may throw that older one in. You're right that is very funny. I was laughing really hard the day I did it.
Hope your back heals soon! I know what its like to deal with that.
It's gotten much better. Thanks man.
Im Here champ 💪🏾
Appreciate you Jay C! I see Mr. Organik is huge now, but I still remember how you came over from his livestream as part of the Gargoyle Gang! Thanks a lot man.
@@GearHead704 yea he really are now but yea I remember that day 2 and every since then I haven't missed a single video legendary/og subscriber👊🏾
@@JayC-nr1mp 💯 thanks man
I was getting my ass kicked on cpu and harness removal. After watching this I had it out 10 min later. Thanks for the info
Great to hear!
Matt you need a video series on your truck..... nice clean car.
Will definitely do that at some point. Thanks Chris.
That Fox looks great Matt. Wanna come clean mine lol
Hah hah, well you can always hit up my buddy shado_project, but i'm not sure of his schedule LOL. Thanks Carl.
Wondered why some the computer cases were bent still informative as always 👍
Agreed, and thanks man.
Nice timeline....by the time you start putting the new 306 in Tarheel, I'll be back to posting new videos on mine. I suspect the engine is going (future tests coming), but it might, MIGHT be time to pull mine for a rebuild. I'm smelling a 306 or stroker coming...
I hope you're engine is good, but if not a stroker would be fun for sure! Looking forward to the video.
MATT hope you feel better soon! On tar hill ,the rims look realy good!🤯and is the performance of the stuby antenna?
Thanks, definitely getting a lot better, and yeah I love those wheels. Oh that antenna is high performance for sure! LOL
Ck the dimmer switch for the headlight problem.
I'm currently replacing the headlight harness.
Great job on removing the computer !! I’m always learning something new from this channel
Glad to hear it! Thanks buddy.
GearHead704 did you get your poster yet ? If so can you take a pic of it and post on social media and tag me in it
@@DeterminedVeteran Not yet, but you know I will buddy
OWEEE Tarheel Fox looks amazing. I need a derogatory name for it tho lol
🤣 thanks, and yeah I know LOL
GearHead704 I’ll think of something! Lol
@@ryang9425 🤣
Dude you’ve got a lot going on! You’re gonna need to add on a garage soon!
I know right! Better just move into foxresto I suppose. 🤣
Tar Heel fox is looking good, when can I drive that truck?
We're definitely going to have to arrange that. Besides I still gotta review coolpri 🤣
I def just grabbed the computer and pulled as hard as I could but that’s because it wasn’t going back in side I went with the holley lol
LMAO dude. Great freaking comment!
Back to the Future, love it. That is not the way I remove my CPU, hahaha.
Hah hah, you are the first to mention that, and it probably added 30 minutes to my editing LOL, but I loved it
I have a 1991 Gt convertible and believe I might have a computer issue, I am wondering does Fox Resto still rebuild them
Yes they still do. You can e-mail parts@foxresto.com or call 704-888-1278
Yappin
Yes sir!
I'd put some nice led lights in the truck & cruise around in that beast. September is great driving weather in nc.
You're right about September, and that's not a bad idea.
took my heater blower housing out the same way matt showed, on my 1991 5.0 Coupe now the air blows out of the defrost vent on any setting..how do you fix that?
oh no, that's really strange as I've done this a couple of times without issue, not really sure what might be causing that
@@GearHead704 maybe you can ask the other matt if he even ran into this problem?
@@mrbighands I'll try and remember. Not seeing him again until March I think.
@@GearHead704 awesome thanks so much.
Boss what shop is that. Where is that shop at
Locust, NC
First
I don't even know how many of these you've done in a row now LOL
your foxbody looks great after a bath ..
Thanks man, she looks even better in real life.
@@GearHead704 I will be Visiting Ponie1992 in Dec maybe i can check it out when i'm in town ..
yeah he hit me up, sounds like we are gonna do something
GearHead704 sounds great , Ponie said he would try and have you over when I’m in town .
@@carmob7499 Yup, he hit me up.
Customer: hey I have a problem with my fox
The fox doctor: I can fix it
Customer: I didn't tell you the problem yet
The fox doctor: I can rebuild the brain
Customer: LEGEND 🙌
ROFL dude, but yeah you're probably right. This comment is great. Gotta PIN it.
After I get enough question that is. I'l go back and do it though! LOL
putting it back in is a a pain
It can be for sure. I was able to do this not too long ago without too much trouble though.
You're missing the white ECU bracket. I don't think it's a great idea to have that computer flopping around in there unmounted.
Not doing it that way!, lol.
It really wasn't too bad.
