She's been writing me off list for a couple of weeks now. Here's the situation as I understand it. She got a 71 car that came without an engine. She got a 73 engine, wiring harness, and brain and put that in. I still don't know about the pressure sensor. The engine should at least run with the 71 pressure sensor, although the 73 PS would be better. At first it just wouldn't start at all, then when she got power to the FI, it was getting too much fuel. The fuel pump is running all the time (that the key is ON, I assume), but that's another problem that we can deal with later. The fuel pressure was 40 psi, but now she has adjusted it to 30. She thinks it is still getting too much gas. I suspect that the cold start valve might be wired up wrong, and firing all the time, or that the pressure sensor hose isn't connected, or both. She hasn't answered about those things yet. Of course there could be numerous other problems. Just to bring everyone up to speed on this....
