Someone who will remain nameless sent me a quote from DemonSVT telling people on CEG about how an SVT PCM can't be installed and it simply can't be done. Guess what DemonSVT? Want to look like a total ass like you sound? I'll explain myself so everyone can clearly understand exactly how this works.
In late 1997 Ford started using PATS (Passive Anti Theft System) in the Contour/Mystiques with the Duratec 2.5L. The early version system (1997-2/98) uses a separate PATS module and does not contain any type of specific PATS coding internally in the PCM. And for the blubbering idiot, you can replace a PCM without reprogramming the PATS because the PATS module isn't in the PCM like the 2/98-on PCM's. I thought God's didn't talk out the side of their asses... Ohh I forgot this is CEG were talking about.. nm - explains itself.
For those that have 2/98-on built vehicles, you will need to have a NGS (Not a MDS or Midas whatever the hell Demon is talking about) damn... If you really worked on these cars and paid attention you would know this stuff. Replacing the PCM will require reprogramming the PATS to allow the current keys to start the engine. This can be accomplished by a Ford Dealer or someone like me who owns an NGS with Green Program Card. If someone would like to try an SE to SVT swap PCM on a 2/98-on, let me know. I will let you know what PCM's are compatible (More than likely SFG1 code as they were the most popular) and program the PATS free of charge to show some losers that it can be done. (Keep in mind you will need to bring the whole vehicle and PCM to me to have it done - I can't do this on a ship to basis).
If you keep thinking inside the box, you will live a sheltered life. As for DemonSVT, come on down pal - We'll go to the dyno together and I'll show you in real life exactly how it's done. Why do you think I included the video for? It shows you on the computer screen exactly the difference in the runs. Why do you think it was time stamped? So you couldn't say it was different days. I guess if "god" can't explain why it works.. It must not work (in his world).
And my last thought... 1997 Contour's without PATS.
I guess it could be done, but those with that model have to realize the intrument panel wiring harness and the engine harness are different to support PATS. This means you will have to change ALOT to make it work. If someone close to NE Ohio is willing to see if it can be done and how, I will be glad to offer my assistance free. The car will need to be left in my possession so I can determine what is needed and the best way to go about it. Once it is done, I will share it so everyone else can do it. Sound fair? Email me at BuckeyeSVT{at}gmail.com with interests.
Hey Demon, who's ignorant now? Maybe you should investigate first before writing people's work off.... As Carlos Mencia would say... You are clearly "Dee Dee Dee".

Demon i have been in the car with the old pcm and new pcm. it works perfect no flaws no nothing. i know he did the direct swap and i even steped on the pcm on the floor when he gave me a ride. Nothing is boggus about it. I had to ride in it to believe it myself to believe it. So if you are so sure why dont you take his bet put your money were your mouth is if you are so positive you are right? Believe me its no joke and the videos are there to prove and i know its bad because he smoked my a$$ on the high way with it last night.
