Computer Box - Ford Bantam 1.3

Ford Bantam II series (code-named BE91) really a Mazda Rustler, the 1.3 gas engine control computer is NOT the transfer box Ford uses the EEC name (electronic engine control) in the U.S.A. SAE calls the computer a PCM (power train control module) and finally most re-builders or resale places call them ECU's (electronic engine control) units. Ann Arbor, MI

The Bantam 1.3 and 1.6 Computer box known as the PCM in South Africa uses a Bosch system. The earlier Rocam engine PCM part number is : 1S6D-12A650-BA 1.3. The Bosch part number is :0 261 207 676. These PCMs are not available new anymore , but they can be repaired; Phone South Africa : 0820606425

Can I use a 1.6 rocam ecu on a 1.3 rocam motor

It will run, but a rich mixture. The Rocam 1300 upto 2006 has a knock sensor, but the 1600 does not . Check the part number of the PCM 1S6D-12A650-AB 1.6 does not have a knock sensor. From 2007 the unit with the part number 5S69-12650-A , both 1300 and 1600 have knock sensors. These ones can be changed from 1300 to 1600 and Vis Versa. . The earlier ECUs can be changed fro 1300 to 1600 , but not 1600 to 1300. The 1300 will run using a 1600 ECU but not efficiently

Can the 1.6 ecu be programmed to run efficiently or what would I need to change for it to run properly. I can't find a 1.3 rocam ecu in good condition. Its a 2004 model

The 2003 ECU 1600 does not have the electronic circuit on the main board for a knock sensor where as the 1300 does. You can not convert the 1600 to the 1300 of this model. Try the Ford Bantam club on Facebook. Someone there is bound to be able to help you.

Hi, I have a 1300 rocam and wish to convert to 1600cc, can this be done without any challenges ie, gearbox, computer box and so on? please advise Siphelele

The Computer Box will have to be converted from 1300 to 1600. The top gear ratio for the 1300 is slightly lower that the 1600, but you can use it like it is. For your case only the Computer Box will have to be converted to 1600.

I have a 2006 1600 rocam engine the engine has been done, when I ref it, it pings, why should this be because it does not have a knock sensor and there is no wiring for the knock sensor

Check that the Camshaft timing is correct. It sounds like its a tooth out.

Hi I'm having a problem with my bantum it's dasint want to start what can be the problem

Is it carnking and not starting or is the starter not cranking ? Does the light next to the clock: Come on and go off after about two seconds; Not come on at all; The light stays ON when the ignition is ON or does the light Flash up quickly for a few seconds then flash up codes ?

Hi I'm having the very same problem Bantam 1.6 Doesn't start when I switch ON the key red light stays on even when I switch OFF the key it stays ON. WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?

Firstly check the Power hold relay. Its the centre to the right in the junction box right side under the dash in the fuse box area. If that is OK. Its possibly the computer box.

Have got 1,3 rocam it does start sometimes idle Ok or it switches off complete what can be the problem???

I swop 1.6 to 1.3 ford Bantam. Not starting but crank, light next to the clock not coming on at all

What year model Bantam ? Check that you have the correct flywheel for the original vehicle.

Hi my 1600 motor blew up piston tru the block. I can get a 1300 motor. Will the computer box work

I have ford bantam xlt 1.6 2003,the bakkie revcounter petrol counter everything go over what could be the problem

i have proplem with ford buntum 1.3. when I was driving it's stop without notice anything now when i turn key the light pn dashboard light non stop

If the Immobilizer light continues to flash on and off quickly, wait till it stops, then it will flash up a code : When you switch the ignition to the ON position the Light next to the clock (Immobilizer Warning light) comes ON and then goes OFF. This shows that the system is OK If the Light flashed quickly and then switches OFF and starts flashing a "1" or a "2" and switches OFF and the starts to flash um a "1" to "6" , or say 1 3 or 86

Do the Ford ikon and Ford bantam rocam use the same COMPUTER BOX?

The Ikon and Bantam (up to 2007) with the Rocam engines have the same computer Boxes
