Can you reprogram the power control module for a 4.6 ford engine?

YOUR ENGINE CONTROL MODULE CAN HAVE SOME OF THE PARAMETERS RE-PROGRAMED/ADJUSTED. I would advise going to the dealership, their factory scan tool is more in-depth in doing this than a generic scan tool. But if you want to radically reprogram your engine control module you will have to go to performance center, if your car has an automatic transmission engine control module and transmission control module talk to each other and depending upon the intelligence of the components they might watch each others peraminators,if they are out of these it could cause the check engine or check transmission light to be turned on,

An IPDM is an Intelligent Power Distribution Module. It contains the majority of your fuses and relays.

Your 84 fiero dies and has no power what so ever it gets it back when it cools what could be the problem?

If Its the 4 Cylinder 2.5 engine I know what it is...on the 2.5 there is a module located beneath the distributor cap...I believe it is call an ignition control module... theses modules over time will slowly wear out and when the engine is being run hot ( interstate driving for example) it will affect your spark timing which in turn will cause lack of power and the occasional backfire.


Is there such a thing as engine control computer going bad and only 3 cylinders are working?

The engine control module can affect cylinders. But if its only a 4 cylinder, cancelling out just one out of 4 isn't likely to be a computer. Its not the most likely cause, but it is definetely possible.
