there are 2 white wires ...or supposely looks the same. try swapping those 2 wires on the distributor. was 2 injector wires ran to the the ecu direct and with a resistor box put on. Make sure that when you go mpfi that you modify your old harness than getting a SI harness. Si harness is only good for connectors for old harness

By the way.. are you using an SI distributor. you cant use the dual point 1.5 distributor. You also have to connect 2 wires from the ecu to the the distributor
c1 connects to blue/green cps
c2 connects to blue/yellow on the distributor

tps sensor on the throttle body. there are 3 wires on the throttle swap the outer wires the throttle is now going opposite for the mpfi. so depin it and just switch places. try that.

pm6 ecu? check your grounds on the engine. should be 2, one on valve cover the other underneath the battery to the tranny. should work, if not then bad ecu, check engine harness. make sure everythng is pushed in. that all the ideas i got.

Did you hook up the thermostat ground? Ive seen several people (including myself) forget about that one.

try a different ecu. when you did your mpfi...did you use your old engine harness? and just add the other wires to that.
