superooo Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 It runs good, gotta clean the maf, cause its got a code 23, it idles real high (varies between 1500 and 1000), and on two random occasions it was surging, like 1k-1200, when cold disconnecting the iac had a large impact on idle speed like the book says it should, i think my throttle position sensor needs to be adjusted as i had to take it off while doing my install, gotta do my timing, right now i think im at 28 btdc, have to grind a little more off of the disty mounting ear. Ill start with the disty and cleaning my maf, but from there not sure where to start, i dont want to chase a simple problem ariound in circles, so thought id ask here, gonna try to adjust everything by the book the best i can but i have a hard time translating book theory jnto real world, a denver local who could show me the first time and help me get it to spec would be the best way i could learn, if anybody wants to get a sixer for the help! Lol. But any advice will be greatly appreciated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superooo Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Codes cleared, maf cleaned, i just took a cutoff wheel and grinder and made my own maf adapter. Ran and drove great yesterday, think my oil pump needs a reseal because its ticking, but this tired old ea81 is on its way out, for my almost complete freshly built hicomp ea81, i didnt want to be working out the bugs on a brand new motor still in its break in period, and the way it flooded and backfired the first couple cranks, im glad i did it that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Nice man. What was the issue with not getting spark ? I never figured it out when I tried the swap on my 86.. Currently putting an ea81 together for my 78 wagon & plan on trying the FI swap again .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I was looking too deep into it, on the harness side of my coil plug ,not the amplifier plug, black wire with a diode for god knows what in a 92 loyale, cut it off, ran my tach signal to the remaining yellow from that plug, also swapped to a known runnig amplifier but dont think that was my problem, and the biggest thing, i think i was somehow mistakenly running it off of an 86 ecu lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
