I will try again...
Just registered, added a thread to the newbie section, and thought I started a thread here with some ?s.
I did check things out enough to feel this was the area.
My brother is swapping a 2.3 carb pinto motor out of his sand rail for a 87/88 Tbird Turbo EFI motor.
Been using a blind chicken racing simplified wiring diagram.
Took some playing around to get it to the point he is at now.
He says that he can now get it to start, but stalls and dies once throttle is given.
Not 100% on the wiring set up so far, but being an electrician he does understand the diagrams and schematic better than myself.
He says that it seems to idle after starting, but apply any throttle and it shuts down.
Has to be turned off, let sit for a few, then can restart, idle, but dies again when throttled up at all.
He bought an inline fuel pump for it and has that running.
I think he got a replacement stock style coil after not seeing spark initially.
Pretty vague info for everyone, but I can try to get more specific if I know what to ask and check on.
Just wondering if there are any common issues and/or mistakes at this point?
I know that there is a trio of sensors on the intake side I am not sure what each is.
One two wire white plastic bodied aimed toward the front of the motor. @ black ones facing to the rear, flywheel end.
Seems like their wiring ties into the injector harness also.
He says that he has no connector or plug for the white.
Also diagram shows a knock sensor, I could not locate any?
Thought it would be towards bottom of block...
Saw a sensor between the injectors that I was not sure about either.
I was guessing that may be coolant temp??
Looked like oil pressure was near rear driver's side, correct?
Appreciate any ideas, suggestions, help that might be given.
Again, apologies for what is probably lack of real substance for diagnosis here, and THANKS ahead of time.
Looking forward to checking this place out better.
