Was your car dpfi or mpfi already? Did you wire in the crank position sensor on the exhaust cam side of the valve cover?

The problem with that, is that all the years and trim levels use different harnesses and pin locations. It will never work without extensive rewiring...even more wiring than just doing the mpfi in the first place....lol.
for example...you can't just plug in a 91 si harness into an 91 dx...wires will be in different locations....it's even worse if you try to plug in a harness not of the same year like a 91 harness into an 88 car...yikes!!!
It's just a complete mess.
That's where I come in. I've done all the research. I've taken all the hard work away w/ my harnesses.

Yeah I found that crap out..91 DX, tried to put an SI harness in, everything was different..the ac had plugs that didnt exsist and the big problem came when I got to trying to connect the interior harness to the rear harness...oh boy..
