Re: Type III Fuel Injection

Need more info!

Make sure all ground wires are connected and clean (this includes battery 
cable and tranny/engine grounding straps).  The brains are sturdy units and 
it's unlikely that it's bad, especially since you know it came from a good, 
working car.  Once they go, they go hard!  Are all your vacuum hoses new?  
Are they on snug?  Vacuum leaks can be a source of many problems.  Are the 
injectors new or at least cleaned up?  Is the fuel filter new (or close to 
it)?

Okay,
I have a '71 type three that I love, which is in the shop right now.  I
can pretty much work on everything my self except for one thing: the
damed fuel injection.  Rumor has it that when it works properly, it
works great.  That's the problem, it has never run great.  I had the
block completley re-built less then 3000 miles ago.  The idle is very
screwy.  I konw the block is good, and the brain came from a great
running car.  The engine is all tuned up, my mechanic and I are stumped!
Anyone ever had this problem before?  Am I missing something?  Thanks
for the help.
