RWARNING
Do not leave children, unreliable adults,
or pets alone in your vehicle. They could
accidentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Further, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe and possibly fatal injuries to
people as well as animals.

Fuel-Injected Engines
*
[ST04900(BEF )03/95]
When starting a fuel-injected engine,the most
important thing to remember is to avoid
pressing down on the accelerator before or
during starting. Only use the accelerator when
you have problems getting your vehicle started.
SeeStarting Your Enginein this chapter for
details about when to use the accelerator while
you start your vehicle.
*
[ST05000(B F )01/95]
Because your vehicle's engine is electronically
controlled by a computer, some control
conditions are maintained by power from the
battery. If you ever disconnect the battery, install
a new battery, or experience a dead battery, you
must allow the computer to ªrelearnº its idle
conditions before your vehicle will idle at its
best. To let the engine do this, apply the parking
brake, put the gearshift in Park (automatic
transmission) or Neutral (manual transmission),
turn off all the accessories, and start the vehicle.
Let the engine idle for at least one minute.
*
[ST05100(BEF )03/95]
If you do not let the engine relearn its idle, the
idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the idle is relearned. Your vehicle
will eventually relearn its idle while you drive
it, but it takes much longer than if you use the
previous procedure.

[ST07300(BEF )05/95]
A computer system controls the engine's idle
speed. When you start your vehicle, the engine's
idle speed normally runs higher than when it's
warmed up. These faster engine speeds will
make your vehicle move slightly faster than its
normal idle speed. It should, however, slow
down after a short time. If it does not, have the
idle speed checked.

For best results, plug the heater in at least three
hours before you start your vehicle. Using the
heater for longer than three hours will not
damage the engine, so you can plug it in at
night to start your vehicle the following
morning.

[ST08190( ALL)03/95]
If the engine cranks but does not start or does
not start after a collision, the fuel pump shut-off
switch may have been triggered. The shut-off
switch is a device intended to stop the fuel
pump when your vehicle has been involved in a
substantial jolt.
*

Once the shut-off switch is triggered, you must
reset the switch by hand before you can start

[LG04675( ALL)05/95]
An example of a condition which corrects itself
occurs when an engine running out of fuel
begins to misfire. In this case, the Check Engine
Warning Light may turn on and will then set a
Diagnostic Trouble Code indicating that the
engine was misfiring while the last of the fuel
was being consumed. After refueling, the Check
Engine Warning Light will turn off after the
vehicle has completed three consecutive warm
up cycles without a misfire condition occurring.
A warm up cycle consists of engine start from a
cold condition (engine at ambient temperature)
and running until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.
*
[LG04700( ALL)05/95]
On the fourth engine start up, the Check Engine
Warning Light will turn off as soon as the
engine begins to crank. It is not necessary to
have the engine serviced.
*
[LG04725( ALL)05/95]
Under certain conditions, the Check Engine
Warning Light may come on if the fuel cap is
not properly installed. If the Check Engine
Warning Light comes on and you suspect that
the fuel cap is not properly installed, pull off the
road as soon as it is safely possible and turn off
the engine. Remove and replace the fuel cap,
making sure it is properly seated.
*
[LG04750( ALL)05/95]
After completing the three consecutive warm up
cycles and on the fourth engine start up, the
Check Engine Warning Light should turn off. If
the light does not go off after the fourth engine
restart, have your vehicle serviced by your
dealer or a qualified technician.

To set the speed control:
*
[SC08000( ALL)03/95]
1. Press and release the ON switch.
*
[SC08100( ALL)04/95]
2. Accelerate to the desired speed above
30 mph (50 km/h) using the accelerator
pedal.
*

3. Press the SET ACCEL switch and release it
immediately to set your speed. If you keep
this switch pressed, your speed will continue
to increase.

[SC08500( ALL)03/95]
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your vehicle will maintain the speed you set.
*
[SC08600( ALL)01/95]
If you drive up or down a steep hill, your
vehicle may momentarily slow down or speed
up, even though the speed control is on. This is
normal.
*
[SC08640( ALL)04/95]
NOTE: If your speed increases above your set
speed while driving inj(Overdrive)
on a downhill grade, you may want to
depress the transmission control switch
located on the shift lever to turn off
overdrive to reduce vehicle speed.
Speed control cannot reduce the vehicle
speed if it goes above your set speed
on a downhill grade. For the best fuel
economy during normal driving
conditions, leave the shift select inj

RWARNING
Do not use the speed control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding,
slippery, or unpaved.
*
[SC08801( ALL)03/91]
In mountainous areas, at higher elevations, or
when pulling a trailer, the speed control may
not be able to maintain the preset speed with
the transmission in overdrive.
*
[SC08850(B F )06/92]
If your vehicle comes with a 5-speed manual
transmission, you may prefer to drive in 4
(Fourth) gear, in mountainous areas or at high
altitudes, to improve speed control performance.
*
[SC09275(B F )12/91]
In order to downshift (with a manual
transmission) with the speed control operating,
you must press either the brake or clutch pedal
long enough to disengage the speed control.
Wait a second before depressing the clutch again
and making the shift so that the speed control
can fully return to the idle position.
*
[SC09325( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Do not shift the transmission into N
(Neutral) with the speed control on.

[SC09350( ALL)03/94]
To maintain a preset speed under the above
conditions, with electronically controlled
transmissions Ð press the Transmission Control
Switch. The indicator light will turn on and
illuminate the word ªOFF.º This will cancel
ªOverdriveº. You can press the Transmission
Control Switch on or off at any speed. For the
best fuel economy during normal driving
conditions, press the Transmission Control
Switch to turn off the light. This allows

vehicle has.

Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic
Powertrain Control Module that limits engine
and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out mode to
promote durability.

[DR08650(BEF )03/93]
Automatic Transmission
Operation (E4OD and 4R70W)
*
[DR08710(BEF )03/94]
The E4OD and 4R70W transmissions are
electronically controlled four speed automatic
transmissions with overdrive. Transmission
operation is controlled by the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM).
*
[DR08720( ALL)08/94]
The PCM will automatically adjust transmission
operation to make up for varying conditions.
Several sensors located on the engine and
transmission such as Throttle Position, Engine
Speed, Vehicle Speed and Transmission
Temperature are used by the PCM to shift the
transmission into a higher or lower gear when
required for the best performance and fuel
economy. For example, you may notice that the
transmission will upshift to a higher gear more

176quickly when the vehicle is first driven and has
not reached normal operating temperature.
*
[DR08730( ALL)07/94]
The PCM also controls the transmission's Torque
Converter Clutch to further raise vehicle
performance and fuel economy. The Torque
Converter Clutch will engage when the
transmission operating temperature and other
conditions determined by the PCM have been
met. Engagement of the clutch may be noted as
a decrease in engine speed after an upshift has
completed or when the driver has depressed the
throttle while driving at a steady road speed.
[DR08740( ALL)04/95]
To help in troubleshooting, the PCM continually
performs self-tests on the electronic control
system and if any faults are detected, will store
them in memory. The Transmission Control
Indicator Light (TCIL), which is located on the
gearshift lever, may flash steadily if a
malfunction has been detected. If the TCIL is
flashing, contact your Ford dealer as soon as
possible. If this condition persists, damage to the
transmission could occur.
[DR08745( ALL)04/95]
NOTE: The word ªOFFº located on the end of
the gearshift lever is the transmission
control indicator light (TCIL).
