OK, I just did my DPI-MPFI swap...

Parts:
89 PM6
5th gen z6 intake manifold / TB/ EACV
5th gen b7 injectors and fuel rail /regulator
a6 distributor
stock map and cold air idle valve t'd to the same vacuum line

I'm throwing a code 14... EACV code... and runs like shit at idle and closed throttle

Would this be because I the EACV is off a 5th gen??

Thanks,

Jung

 

umm possibly, ur sure its all connected correctly off the intake manifold? i know u really gotta push those 2 connectors together to get them to work properly, (u know ur actually supposed to disconnect that every time u redo ur idle) bleh. good luck buddy, not sure about the obd differences and if this will cause problems for u

 

Ok, I just took a break from work (hardly) and went down to check the sensor hook up... yup it was wrong. Turns out that when I pulled of the EACV from the manifold to hook up the coolant lines, (after the manifold was in) I grabbed the connector and plugged it in, turns out I plugged in that extra one, that I should cut off. I swapped that for the real one, no code, drove her around the parking ramp for a minute, still no code or light, feels great, pulls incredibly hard!! Now I finally have some power.

Thanks for your help...

no problem buddy, i think i just got lucky guessing there, but glad its fixed and working for u. i always forget little things like that especially the egr vacume hose, drive down the road and have it light up the check engine light on me, pop the hood and feel stupid
