hahaha just finished wiring the car back up :)

keep us posted! Four eyes FTW


I got the wiring finished at about 9:30pm, and I couldn't resist, so I hooked a piece of heater hose to the heater tube outlet and the other end back to the radiator and fired it up. It ran and idled smooth. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, I got an FMS main efi harness from summit and used my old engine and O2 sensor harness with it. Some things that are different that I like better are the fuel pump works just like it should in any 86+ car, meaning it shuts off a few seconds after the key is turned on instead of running all the time, and the A/C WOT relay and whatnot work to control my stock expansion valve system. I redid my fuel injection setup because I was using a crappy old speed density harness that I converted to mass air, and it had a ton of problems. I cant wait to get some new heater hoses and an alignment.

Sorry of mooching off your thread lol.

mooch away man! I wish more people would be so explanitory about their cars... Your fuel pump was staying kicked on the whole time before instead of turing off when enough pressure was built? Did it burn the pump up?
 
No, but it probably would have if I had let it sit with the key on for a while. If I had to work on it with the key on I would normally hit the inertia switch with something to shut it off. It could have had something to do with the crappyness of the old harness or the way I wired it 5 years ago.

I wish more people would try wiring up fuel injection. Its easy, there are like 5 wires that get power, 1 gets power at run and start, 2 get power at start, 1 gets power at run, and the last one gets power all the time.
