ok, I replaced the 2.9 liter in my '88 ranger with a 4.0 liter and I've almost got the wiring right but im having trouble my ranger will crank but wont stay crunk unless I hold a rag soaked in gas over the air intake. This suggests to me that my fuel injectors aren't firing right. any suggestions as to what to check Ive checked everything I can think of many times over.

I have actually been thinking of switching from efi to carb just for the simplicity factor. Does anyone know what kind of intake manifold I need and where I can get one

thanks

do you have the intake tube from the air box hooked up to the throttle body?

i know if i remove the tube off of the throttle body it will stall the engine...
