No coolant at all. It smells of fuel. It's spitting out a crap ton of water as well which is coming from the cats

Also how do you tell the part number on the pcm? The number on mine that I'm assuming is bad comes up under some 2.5l truck. Anywhere I look to order a new one wants to know what the part number on mine is but clearly its not right I'm so confused.

Should be on a label on the PCM..... There are parts manuals in the faq section here as well.

Yes the label on the pcm is very faded but like I said when I search for a replacement with that number it came up with a 2.5l engine. The one bad thing about having a vehicle other people have had their hands on prior I mean heck both battery cables are red... anything else that could cause the irradic demand for fuel? Asd messing up I feel like it's randomly cutting off spark.

It's gotta be something temp related, given your symptoms. Either a bad sensor, or bad connection somewhere.

Well it hasn't done it since I swapped the pcm, it's still running rich but I dunno if that is just bc of the fact the pcm is for the 5.9l and it didn't matter what temperature the engine was st it would still cut off and not start but sometimes could swap the asd and itd start back up till that relay got hot.
