Wow, for a guy who knows so much about mustang intakes and long rod engines
and I6 4.9's, you sure dont' know jack about the computers...
        In reply, yes a Ford dealer can check the EEC-IV out of the car with
a device known as a breaker box, and did you try checking the air meter( I
think these have one.. you did'nt mention the year).  These will implement
the limp home mode anytime.
