jezmoz 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 you need all the parts from the 2.8.. you need the ecu/key immobiliser/wiring loom from the 2.8 you got or any other 2.8 OBD1. I would think the 2.9 ecu is for the abf lump? Link to post Share on other sites
johnemerson38 1 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 right i think this is getting a bit confusing let me explain proper lol my car from the factory was a 2.9 abv then i s/c her vince did a mafless remap keeping my standard ecu then my engine went pop so i sold the s/c then found a cheap 2.8 aaa engine and fitted it keeping all the loom from my car and just used the block now i went to start her up with my (remaped ecu 2.9) she fired up but only for 1-2mins prob cos the ecu was overfueling so swaped to a 2.8 standard ecu not sure if its for a obd1 or 2 or it is cos my car has a coded key but she would try to fire up but nothing but a starter motor Link to post Share on other sites
