Hey guys,

I just did the swap this weekend and while everything is fresh, I did a thorough writeup on my experiences mixed with some other writeup information and diagrams. Hopefully it helps some of you!

I put it in a pdf file so the images dont expire and so if you print it out, it will have the correct page breaks.

Here it is:

edit: removed external link and attached a .pdf.
edit2: UGH! Sorry, everything is fixed now. You should all be able to open it no problem.

enjoy!

 

btw, feel free to add your thoughts/things i missed/etc and ill fix it.

 

It's been covered so many times that I feel that you completely wasted your time writing this up.
You asked.

 

Very true. But hey, if he wants to contribute to the already massive pile of DPFI TO MPFI write ups. Who is to stop him?

Personally you should have just created a PDF and attached it, and left it on this site. I wouldn't download something from a site like you listed, idk if it contained a virus or what not

 

Truth. But at the same time I felt like the older ones missed a couple things that i had to figure out. Either way, no harm no foul i guess

Plus 90% of the DPFI MPFI writeups are old webpages that are now gone.

Not a bad idea. I'll do the .pdf recommendation.

 

Ok done. Now it's a PDF. Sorry for the off-site upload. Its attached to this post.

 

my Adobe reader will not read your attachment

 

mine either

 

Who would have thought that creating an Adobe PDF could be so hard?

 

i suspect that since the attachment is coming directly from his computer, access to it is blocked in some way?

 

OK!

Sorry for the epic fail on my part. It should work now and I updated all my links.

Got a suggestion about FITV wiring from jlicrx that I'll be adding to the writeup.

Sorry guys! This is what happens when you try to do something good sometimes!

 

soooooo.

you pretty much re-used pictures from othe DPFI to MPFI tutorials, i have seen them before, and re wrote everything.

 

Pretty much. I said that in the document as well.

There was a few times where I felt like the existing writeups missed stuff so I added in stuff that i thought they missed or was unclear. I dont see what the problem is with taking the best of all the stuff you need for the swap and putting it in one document. If you dont like it, dont use it?

 

There are a few grammatical errors here and there. The sentence structure doesn't flow very well, making it slow reading...

My advice would be to take your personal experiences and way of writing out of this composition. It really takes away from the "write-up" as a whole.

The only reason I am nit-picking is because there are so many write-ups on this already, why add another half-butted one to the mix?

 

i personally wont use them, as i have my own diagrams/write ups that i have made myself on my computer.

 

Noted. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try and cut out some wording and make it more straight forward and professional.

 

good stuff. Basically have it memorized, but nice way to contribute.

 

 

also shout to jlicrx for helping me via PMs. I'll add his additions in when I get a chance.

 

Can someone help please this is the problem i'm having i have a 88 ef sedan lx i just converted to mpfi and obd1 I have checked my wiring and can't figure out my problem it seams to run decent at low RPM's around 3k. But if i get over that it starts like falling on its face like stops pulling it backfires and shuts off I'm throwing a code 4, code 7, code 9, and code 15. I've tried 2 new distributors and still does the same thing. Can someone please give me some idea's. Thanks for any help that I recieve.

Code 4 Crank position sensor

Code 7 Throttle position sensor

Code 9 No.1 cylinder position sensor

Code 15 Ignition output signal

 

Looks like you messed up all your distributor wires

 

Which wires? all of them color match.

 

Great REWRITEUP! Lol, seriously im a visual/auditory learner and the way youve explained everything makes sense. Cudo's my man, cudo's!

 

Ok guys I'm only getting a code 4 when i go to get on my car it cuts out and pops really bad will not pull

 

Lol haters are going to hate. You did a very good job on remaking this and dont let anyone tell you different. Competently agree on that the other writeup are out dated and missing a thing or two.
