Good morning and happy Saturday.
I bought a low mile rebuilt 2.0l engine that has carbs but also came with a full FI set up up that supposed worked fine before someone got an overdose of testosterone and felt the urge to tweak the fuel system (prior owners description (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) ). Anyone put FI back on a car? Seems fairly straight forward but.... |

QUOTE(Tdskip @ Oct 6 2018, 06:13 AM)  Good morning and happy Saturday.

Anyone put FI back on a car? Seems fairly straight forward but.... Yes it certainly has been done. I would test each of the components if possible prior to installation. You will have much better mileage and driveability with FI. Going to reinstall my FI after doing a valve job. Do you have the correct fuel pump and distributor? Test the distributor for holding vacuum. Most leak. I would also take the dizzy apart , clean and lube the plates. Makes a big difference. I have seen many "ran great when pulled" parts that needed work. Best one was an engine that was said to have a small ticking sound. One piston had a hole you could drop a golf ball thru. Inspect the wire harness for cracked insulation and bad connectors. I have many spare harnesses that can be used for parts. |
