I maybe crazy but I wonder if the computer would help the SE any. I am willing to be the guinniee(spelling) pig for this mod. I know alot of the parameters are different, But trying can't hurt right. Anyone with a wrecked SVT that is willing to sell the computer let me know I'll buy it. If the price is right.

Been thought of and tried - won't work due to PATS system in SVT. Maybe a custom burned chip to eliminate check for magic key?

Doesn't eliminate the problem - your computer has the PATS code for your car (and keys). You could stick another computer in, but the internal PATS code won't match your key. I expect that Ford could re-program a new set of keys for you, but they screw you for big $ to do a re-programming if you lose your keys, so I expect that same big $ charge would apply. Or you could get an aftermarket chip, though never having had one I don't know how they get around PATS.

Yup, won't work.

Tried to switch a computer from a '98 SVT into a '98.5 SVT and nothing. Car won't even
turn over.

That day, I was cursing PATS. smile

I see your point. I would still be interested in a compter if I could get a key to go with it. Working with car stereo for 2yrs you learn a few tricks along the way. I will find out what i need from someone with a wrecked car and give it a try. PATS is pretty easy to get around. Shhhhhh

Heh heh, been there too. The prox type PATS are very easy... place the right key in a box with wire wrapped around it, or cut the head off and duct tape it to the ECU... laugh There are more ways, but those are the funnest I've had to do...
