Putting FI back on a 2.0l Options

[Tdskip]

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....

very easy to reinstall just hope that they did not change the camshaft. You will need new injector seals, new vacuum line kit, new upper fuel line kit, new intake runner boots and intake blocks, new ignition points and condenser, new air cleaner, new head temp sensor new fuel filter, new throttle body gasket, new cold start gaskets, and as previously stated test the components. clean the trigger points and recap, evacuate the pressure sensor check the fuel pump for leaks, test the injectors, then you should be all set

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I just did all this after pulling it off to refresh and redo all seals and new tin. In your case your tin is all there , so its pretty easy. Just get all the new gaskets that George listed off, then vac test the MPS to make sure it is good. Get new injector seals- you might want to send them in and have them flow tested and cleaned by Mr. Injector before putting it all on. I also took this opportunity to have my fuel rails and injector retainers zinc plated so they wont rust. Bruce Stone can do this. he also did my plenum and intake runners, so it all looks so nice and clean. You can see this on my build thread, ive posted pictures of most of my progress and steps as I went along. AA has the correct size hoses in their kits, all precut and labled. Also make sure the throttle body is clean and working good. I sent mine in to have it completely taken apart and rebuilt, polished etc and it works like new. If you have any questions ask here and post pictures, those of us that have taken apart and rebuilt the d-jet systems will chime in. also, test your FI wiring harness. Jeff Bowlsby has a step by step to do this. You might want to consider getting a newly rebuilt one, because the old wiring is subject to shorts and failure due to head exposure and age. I got mine from Jeff after I bought my car and that eliminated issues with cracked wiring insulation and connectors. Now once you do this, you wont have to worry about any major issues for a long time.
Oh and make sure your MPS, ECU and distributor are matching numbers wise. It wont run good if you have unmatching components. It will not run if you have a bad CHT or MPS. Other than that it will run.

AND very important, no one has mentioned- you need a different fuel pump with FI. high pressure- 30psi not the 10psi for carbs. You might spent $1200 for new fresh stuff but you can maybe sell the carbs and make some $$ if you need to.

edit: - bruce stone did mention making sure you have correct fuel pump too-
