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.... |

The cams with higher lift and longer duration and overlap create irregular intake vacuum.
The FI does not handle the vacuum pulses and irregular air flow very well. A mild carb cam you may just get poor idle quality and poor low rpm drivability. The more radical the cam the worse the FI handles it. Personally I would probably take the chance since the process is reversible. I might take the time to measure the cam lift, duration and timing. Good luck Jim |
