that's also your MAP sensor for OBD0. You can continue to use that one, or extend the wires and use the TB mounted MAP.

well its all I can afford. but off the ecu issue, what do I have to do special to wire for multipoint and a resistor box since my car was originally auto. Im going to the junkyard friday so I can grab some injectors, a resistor box, ecu and dizzy
will this work?
http://fourthgenhatch.net/mpfi.html

they mention this. is it only if I was still running an auto ecu or iss it still needed since my car was an auto?

"Automatics and Exceptions
On an automatic car (using an auto ECU), pin B11 is wired to your shifter position switch, D4. Since you won’t be moving that pin, you will need an extra ECU pin. If you're using the tried and true "cut" method, put the extra pin in B12. If you're using the "switch" method, put it in the C2 position. Other than this, the rest of your conversion should be exactly the same."

you need to use the engine harness that fits your chassis and you need to use google! theres a million write ups on b swaps

ok do things in order. it will help your sanity and confusion. Do the auto to manual conversion first. Its not hard and please for the love of god buy the correct ecu and stop posting threads about running the wrong one.

Second, do the mpfi wiring

third, Do the obd0 to obd1 wiring IF YOU DECIDE TO RUN OBD1

DO things one at a time and you wont mess the wiring up. as for the vaccuum lines. buy a Y splitter, connect the 2 lines from your car into 1 and run that 1 line to your manifold

seriously, start googling things before you make repeat threads. Google is your friend. Flame all you want but 5 mins on google would have saved you a ton of time and effort.

Then maybe you would have more cash to spend on parts bc youd buy the right ones the first time

I didnt buy any wrong parts? thanks for the advice tho I'll see about that vacuum line splitter I already have the obd1 ecu and dizzy some Im just gonna keep them in case I ever wanna go obd1. for a budget Im gonna stay obd0. Im buying the ecu and dizzy online and then this week going to the junkyard for injectors, injector plugs, and resistor box

I searched for you, took 2 mins or less


it will work but it wont bolt up with all three bolts. but it will run it if you are just trying to jerry rig your car together. Search harder and find an ls distributor. they are EVERYWHERE. I could find you 10 in less than an hour if I cared enough
