Re: [T3] Even Still Can't Get It Rigth With The New FI Parts In

Do you want the FI FAQ??

Dont be too concerned about the distributor matching the FI at the moment,
your running problems arent that. Make sure the plugs for Temp 2 sensor ( on
the air dist) and the cold start injector arent switched.  I may have E
stuff that is not too $$.
