I thought someone mentioned having some of Ryan's webpage, fordfuelinjection.com, saved. I couldn't find that though so excuse me if this is a repeat.



While searching for SPOUT connector info I stumbled upon this.



https://www.ludicrous-speed.com/automotive/technical/FordFuelInjection/



It's not complete, and some links don't work, but there's a lot of good information still

If I’m not mistaken I believe Ryan is no longer doing the ford stuff and has not been around in awhile

He is still out there... but yeah he's been MIA for a while, and his website disappeared. Rumor has it Ford themselves got involved, and shut it down. The link I posted is a 2003 copyright. This was a copy someone made im assuming.

 

Yo,
Here is Ryan's archived tech site; Ford Fuel Injection » Home

Member @end user once did us all a HUGE FAVOR by registering a copy of the site as fuelinjectedford.com but that too went down.

And his former EFI Parts site, http://web.archive.org/web/20120611030917/http://www.rjminjectiontech.com/
Not all links work, but gives you an idea of what's been developed, so google for other sources.

 

Nice, seems that copy is better than the one I found, but hey, it never hurts to have multiple sources. I wish both ryan and @SigEpBlue were still here. They were electronical geniouses

 

He was a great guy, sometimes a bit slow on getting things out but I still miss him and his stuff...lol lol......keeping for future reference!

Good Luck ~ :thumbup

 

Yo widetrackman,
Although we have COMCAST highest tier level Blast, our download capability really sux with numerous time-outs, but I just opened 5 of Ryan's download file docs.
Let us know which files you can't open and will try from my end.

 

I'd be willing to pay for a CD or donate to download an archive from Dropbox or Google Drive, etc. Also, has anyone else thought of putting up a new, current webpage to host the source info.?

 

Problem with selling the info is that even though it is not published by Ryan on the internet anymore it is still copyrighted material whether it belongs to Ryan or Ford. Ford really put the screws to anyone sharing Ford documentations. Ryan even had to change the name of his website because it contained the Ford name. Granted there are archive sites available that do provide this information. I do not know the legalities of this other than they do not claim the material as theirs. If someone was to do the same using Dropbox or Google Drive and publicly sharing the link to those, then they maybe in conflict with copyright laws. It is a tangled mess with copyright laws. You can buy a book and give it away when done with it but you can't copy the book and give it away, you can allow someone to take it off your shelf, read it, and put it back when done. The link posted above may have permission from Ryan to share it. We don't know. I would suggest you setup your own private Dropbox or Drive folder and archive any and all material you come across for later use.

Yes it is a shame that this material maybe lost forever that is why I suggest grabbing it for yourself privately for your own use later on.

 

Eh forgot to change the DNS server for the fuelinjectedford.com site. Should be back up shortly. I actually started to add the pages to a CMS system so other can edit but didn't get far as I didn't have much time.

 

Thank you, sir. Let's hope Ford doesn't target you as well.

My thought process may be backwards here, but wouldn't it be better for a car company to keep as many old vehicles on the road as possible? Would that not be a testament to their longevity--something they can advertise? To my mind, eliminating sites that support these older vehicles is a detriment to that thought process.
