Re: [T3] My mis-matched FI


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Knowing how it should work would be helpful... I believe the 72-3 sensors
were the same and the E type. they need to be matched to the E brain and
should have the 73 dist... or 72 if you dont mind the hassle of timing the
darn thing.  make sure your harness is correct and hooked up correctly, the
wires are all numbered at each end... some connectors like the air temp sens
and cold start injector are interchangable so its a good thing to check.
