I've been driving it and the shifting has been erratic. A couple of times it started in first and didn't shift until 6,000 RPMs and I didn't have my foot in it. Then it would mostly start in 2nd and shift to 3rd. It wouldn't always go into reverse without moving the shift lever back and forth.

Drive it hard a couple times and see what it does, if it doesn't improve it will likely need to be rebuilt to replace the seals and clean out anything built up or sticking. Transmission fluid can become a sticky mess if allowed to set.

Do you have a diagram of the wiring that goes to the diagnostic OBD1 trouble code reader connector?

Was going to say there are some of them on this site. At least Ford didn't pull the GM type stuff and make them a mixed system.

I found my old OBD1 code reader and it spit out about 6 faults but nothing to do with the transmission. So right now I'm working to correct these problems.
I am a snowbird currently in Florida with the wife and we will be going back to New Hampshire the middle of April. I don't know how far I will get with this car but there is always next winter.
In NH I have two older cars, an 1987 Mercedes 190e with a diesel engine from a 300sd and an 1988 Honda Civic with a 5.0 Ford V8 mounted midships driving the rear wheels. Runs like a rabbit.

You have quite a list. The definitions for the codes are accurate. The idea that that transmission is giving you trouble is likely related to the temperature sensor. Have you done any checking?
Since I jumped into this part way through, can you tell me the ultimate goal? There seem to be a few different concerns.

The ultimate goal is to get this car running smoothly. I have found some wiring mistakes and been correcting them. Now I'm trying to find the octane adjust circuit.

I found some components were miss-wired or had one wire not connected. I had to take out the PCM connector to make these wiring changes. Now I can't get it back connected to the computer. The 6 mm bolt will not thread into place.

How were they repaired? Is something preventing the connector from being seated? Check to make sure none of the pins were damaged or bent.

It's my stupidity. The PCM had moved back because the clamp is missing so I made a new clamp and pushed the PCM into position. The connector went right on. Got too tired to try the engine. Tomorrow.

I "fixed" it real well. Now the fuel pump won't run unless I ground the wire from the PCM pin #22 that comes from the fuel pump relay. But then of course it won't shut off. Exactly what tells the fuel pump to turn on and off? I don't see any pressure switch. Is it current draw from the pump. Help.
