(I've got a scan tool, and I get no test, and no codes) 2) Do Ford dealers have the capability to check an EEC-IV "on the bench" (out of the vehicle)? As stated above, I've tried to diagnose the vehicle using the internal diagnostics, but I get no reply. The vehicle appears to be running in "limp home" mode, and the sensors I've checked look okay (It's pretty tight in an Escort's engine compartment) Any assistance in this matter is sincerely appreciated (not just by me, but also by my wife...)

But before I could get to the station in my pick up truck, she got runned over by the darned old train...

The diagnostics are run by the CPU and as soon as that stops running it goes into hardware based limp home mode.
