I put a '81 vanagon engine w/F.I. in my '73 bus (formally had carb), and have it *almost* running. I was very careful to follow out the wiring schmatics in both the Hayne's manual for the '81 and the Bentley for the '73, and am very sure I have the wiring hooked up right. If I turn on the ignition and manually open the air sensor gate, the fuel pump runs as it should. But, the car won't start. If I pull off the lead that goes to the coil from the ECU (#1 terminal on ECU), the engine will actually start and run, more or less. But putting that wire back on the coil and it won't fire up. Anybody got a clue on this. -- Harmon Seaver hseaver@harmon.bml.usouthal.edu http://harmon.bml.usouthal.edu ======================================================================= All is impermanent, but this too shall pass away, and the way of the Samurai is death -- so speak your mind now, or forever hold your peace. ======================================================================= Copyright, Harmon F.
