Am I right in thinking that a PATS ecu for a Ford is only any good to you if you have a matching set of keys to go with it, or can you trick an engine into running with one of these?

Cheers

No you need the matching key. I have found no way around it on the ford.

Its easy to use out of the car for cars between 95 and 97 ish. There are just four wires for the antenna

Rx and Tx into the ecu

Perm live and earth.

What do you need ?

If you want to do some reading its an Rdif setup.

I have one that came with my engine, and was wondering whether it was worth putting on ebay, or putting in the skip!

They can be re coded. But the job would cost more than a 96 mondeo would be worth.

Bin. Out of interest whats the name on it ?

It's a TELL unit.

thats an eec-iv 2.0 mondeo around 95
~96 then

You may shift it for a couple of quid to some one to gut it for a megasquirt adapter.

So is it pre PATS then?

Nope its pats

but it was worth checking

Pre pats would be Desk Deep Dewy for the 2.0 manual mondeo

Ye knows too much about ecu codes!!
