i picked up a engine today.....a supposed 1,7 engine.....i pick it up and look at it and i see 1,8 throttle body and two injection harnesses and a computer fitting god knows which car.....all i know is that the computer doesnt have the idle mixture adjustment knob, which means it matches the year range of the 1,7....so far everything makes sense. Okay, my question is where could i hook up a MPS to on a 1,8 intake plenum and throttle body? ( everything i said is true ASSUMING the 1.7 had the upright throttle body setup with the wider intake plenum)

Since I sent you the frickin engine, you will find that it has an MPS attached to it and the second "brain & harness" are for a early 1.7 (no idle adjustment knob). The OE on the brain is correct for the application.
You might also notice that the harness on the engine has a large plastic connector...this is what plugs into the brain. All you do is remove the grey plastic cover from the brain box and you will see where the white connector goes. It is not a 1.8..... If you look at the dizzy, it has a trigger points connector which a 1.8 does not have. What I forgot to include on the engine was the oil bath air cleaner and the rubber elbow that connects the air cleaner to the throttle body...which I am still looking for. Now, if that isn't reassurance enough, go to the engine number that is stamped into the rib on the top of the case near the flywheel, left side looking from the front of the engine. I can't remember which one it is, but it will start with a "W", "EA" or "EB". Any further questions, email me................ |
