Well I'm still working on a few details like engine codes. I had like 4 different codes. Now I'm down to one but this one is giving me a hard time. Does any body know about the "G" signal from the distributor to the computer ? I can not remember how it is supost to work. I need to check the circuit and I got the diagram and everything! one cable goes to ground, the other one to the computer and the other one to the main relay. There is also a NE signal from the distributor too if that rings any bells ?? The car runs, but it runs like crap, I think it has something to do with the timing, I'm goin to work on the car today.
To answer your questions I bougth the engine from a junkyard with warranty just in case. I payed $350 And I pulled it out my self. I had to get the throttle body from another engine because the one I got was from an automatic and the TPS conection is different. Also I got the distributor from a Ford Escort GT same year 1990. It didn't have one. I had no problems with the rest. Every thing fits perfectly. I am using my trainy from the old engine, by the way I got a 5 speed stick shift. I used the same flywheel and clutch too.
All I can tell is that this engine seems to be very.......very strong combined with a lite weight car.......... you do the math.........
