Update On E16 Mpfi

PLEASE HELP MEEEE!! I need to know the resistance (in OHMS) of the fuel injectors for a 91 GA16DE motor, cause I converted my E16 to fuel injection AND I CAN GET IT TO START OFF OF STARTING FLUID, however, I can't get my fuel injectors to squirt fuel, *they squirt just a teeny weeny little bit.. but not enough to get it going... and yes I bought new ones... so right now I'm SOL until I can figure out how to get the fuel injectors to spray.. and yes the fuel pump is high powered... it's from an 86 325 bmw... so it should be good to go.................!! But it still won't work!! AHHHHH this is killing me.. i tried reversing the terminals... BUT WAIT!! There's more!!! does anyone know how the FI work?? Cuase I hooked a power and a ground up to them, and they are supposed to click, but they didn't... just got a little spark... so I'm like.. Hmmmm but is it supposed to be a constant power and then a signal from the comp or what?? I mean.. help me here.. (I'm talking about the fuel injectors from an 83 nissan pulsar) please more input.. I'm SOOOOO CLOSE to an MPFI E16 that it's not funny..we solved to reverse rotation distributor and we got spark, which was great.. got plenty of fuel, all of the wires are in place and I just can't figure out why it won't squirt!! so please someone else have the answer?? Need input.. even useless stuff might be of help...I was reading another thread and I saw that... OHHH hey... Do I need a dropping resistor like the other guy did on his TBI swap on to an E16? cause if I do.. I'm gonna s**t a brick... Please say I do.. remember here. I got the GA16de not the GA16i... no TBI... so if there is no "dropping resistor" what needs to be done? blownb310.. i'm lookin' in your direction!! Help a brotha out...

Might try finding a GA16DE in the junkyard, or wherever you got that harness, and measure the resistance of the injectors, and compare it to yours. Use a nice digital multimeter so you get an accurate reading. Another possibility is that the GA16DE uses MUCH MUCH higher flowing injectors (not likely, IMHO, but something to keep in mind), and the computer just isn't keeping these smaller injectors open long enough.. Can you put GA16DE injectors into that manifold? I know I read about people putting (I think) VW injectors into that manifold.. You might hit up the people in the E15ET club on Yahoo, they know those injectors and what will fit in their place really well. (Granted, those lazy bastards will probably just tell you to get an aftermarket computer like they told me.. Screw dat! hehe..)
Good luck, I'm rootin for ya.. And when I rooted for littlebittacontact, it worked out for him!

hehehe..
