What I've got is a '71 FI/MT Squareback w/an engine transplant from a '73 (dealer rebuilt 20k & 20+ yrs.ago). It ran like a top in its' OG body & the only changes I made were adding the throttle valve switch & pressure sensor from the '71. It still isn't running though... It turns over fine, both relays click & the pump is pumpin, plenty o' spark, too. (I just dumped my cruddy points & condenser for a Pertronix kit) I own a Bosch EFAW 193 tester & have gone through all the stages with it...now turn your Bentleys to section 22 & follow along. If you lack a Bentley manual, you will not know what I'm talking about...sorry. Test Stages 1-4 are w/in spec. 5. shows a reading of 5 on ohm scale of meter (spec is infinite) Not sure what this means. 6-7-8-9 are w/in spec 10-11. Since this tester is meant for the earlier FI cars & I lack the adaptor, at this stage the meter reads 10 ohms, even w/the throttle position switch unplugged...how does one check the throttle pos. switch w/a VOM, etc? Is there any way to mod my unit w/o the official adapter? 12-13 w/in spec. 14. pushing the buttons, I get NOTHING for any of the 4 injectors, though w/the ignition swithced on, I get a click when plugging/unplugging any of them. So is my tester broken at this particular stage? I will check each valve w/my VOM as soon as I get new leads for it, though it does seem highly unlikely that all 4 valves 'died in their sleep'. I hope to get it running ASAP, as there's still plenty to be done by Invasion time & I have a mental block that keeps me from doing anything with the chassis when the motor is so close to running, but not actually running (unless there's a can of ether around). (Anyone responding, please cc me directly, as I have to use web based AOL mail to post to the list as HTML cannot be turned off. Silly AOL-good thing it only costs me $3/mo!!!)
