OK the fuel injectors, and fuel rail I am using came on this engine. ( salvage yard motor)
is there a difference in fuel injectors between the years? voltage?
I know the connectors on the fuel injectors were diffferent. new motor harness had plastic clips on the side holding them on.
Old motor injectors had the metal spring clips holding them on.
I know the wiring harness that came on the newer motor (bronco 2) had a big connector with like 7 prongs that had the injectors and tps sensor and other sensor plugs in it.. So I swapped it out with my old wiring harness that was 3 wires just for the injectors, because all the other sensors plugs are in my trucks main harness.
I can always put on my old injectors and fuel rail from the old motor that I know were good...and see if it will run.
Also will a bad tfi module in the distributor cause my issue?
the truck will run with starting fluid or gas in throttle body ( but will die as soon as it uses it up)...but would a bad tfi not fire the injectors?
the distributor and tfi came with this engine...I did put new cap, rotor, plugwires, and plugs. I can swap out the tfi with my old one that I know was good also.
