Worn injectors, stuck warm-up regulator or something wrong with the metering unit.

First I'd check the fuel pressure.

Hi guys, I need help. I have some problems with my RS turbo engine. I have XR3 EFI convertion to OFAC. The engine starts but only 2 cylinders is warking. And I hear that fuel injectors are clicking. What s wrong?

3. signal wire for 2nd/3rd cylinder (wiring loom)

I think that i found the problem. I have measured the impedence first at the twin coils and twin coil connectors. They are in working condition. Then I had done the same with coil connector which is located between fuel rail and ECU. I found that the brown/red wire (at the ECU pin 23 octane/idle adjust) has not impedence. It s broken. I will rewire it and try to start the engine. Today I had not much time for it. And it is cold in my garage.

Cable broken or a problem with the ECU or the EDIS module

Hi. The problem was sorted. I had low impedance fuel injectors from sierra cosworth. I set my blue ones in and engine starts.

May be you know what MAP sensor I need if I have OFAC ECU? I know that I need V90FB9F479AA, but may be there is any MAP with the same characteristics it means analog?
