I personally have an older OBDII-GM model and it works great. The
scantool.net software provides a wealth of real-time information,
including MAF and O2 readings. It may help you in your endeavor.

     I have come into possession of a _Windstar_ class minivan. It
wasn't my first choice, but for better or worse it's what I now have;
and all indications and opinions are that I could have done worse.

     I bring this up because I'm seeking help from the Ford geeks on
these lists, to wit:

* The pin-outs to the Data-Link Connector

* What information can be obtained via this link

* Source code to the software in the PCM

* I'm particularly interested in getting a reading of the
   fuel consumption rate (in gallons per hour).

* Possibly a direct reading of the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor, or
   else the fuel injector pulse width, might be sufficient.

* And what would it take to make this engine E85 (or better yet,
   M85/coalgas/woodgas) capable?

(Like I said, it wasn't my first choice.)


What information can you Ford people get hold of?
