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.... |

It would be a rare person/circumstance to take off a perfectly functional FI system to change to carbs. You can be 99% sure one or more FI components are not working and will need replacement and its pretty easy to troubleshoot most of them.

Finally got around to doing some testing on this specific set up and sure enough Jeff, the MPS is bad. I wonder if that was the only reason why it was pulled off? |
