First thing that comes to mind is the ignition switch. It controls power to the EEC and to the starter solenoid. Sounds like there is a "cross" in there that is causing power to the EEC to engage the starter solenoid.... but if removing the FMS Extender from the EEC fixes this problem, then my theory doesn't make much sense.<br /><br />What have you tried so far? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FasterDamnit</b> <br /><small>Member # 442</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,16,12,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Nothing.
