    fitted mpi fuel inj from a mk2f into my mk2 , cant seem to get it sorted



    suffers from a bad idle,bit bumpy pop pop sound and refuses to start hot - between 3-20 mins , will start with bts undone , drives fairly okay above idle

    a few things ive tried /done

    timing set as per the book
    air bypass mixtured tired various settings ...its set to 14.1 afr via a wideband gauge at the moment
    tried another dizzy /cap/arm
    tried another coil
    correct plugs fitted
    earths good
    tried another tps
    no obvious air leaks + charcoal can deleted
    correct 3 bar pump fitted
    new genuine blue sender plus tried others i had laying around
    spare set of used inj tried with new o rings
    spare afm tried
    blocked the isv at the tb elbow- no change in running

    engine basics should be fine as ive had the car driving for 2 years on a carb ..ive not touched the internals since

    has crude diagnostics , no codes showing

    still waiting on a ecu to try...them im pretty much out of ideas , anyone localish to cambridge that knows these , or a garage that remembers old cars , none of the garages ive spoke to have any ideas and dont really work on old toot
