If your MFI you need the Fuel Flow Sensor, it connects to that not the ECU.

Yeah but the fuel computer takes a signal from the ECU to know how much fuel is being used not from a flow sensor (or so I have been told, as i'm trying to get mine to work having just gone efi).

Martin, if you are going to be @ the NE London meet on Saturday, come and see me and I'll guide you through fitting the fuel computer. They are easy to do and have done a couple in my time. Hardest bit is finding the correct wire in the mess that they call an ECU plug.

I'm sure I have a couple up in the loft. If I can find them, I'll bring one with me for you.
