Will be checking engine codes when i get back into town...will post results when i can

 

son!!! *shaking head fervently*.......



go nice on this kid, fellas and gals......he is 18 and learning........



and he is right the dude that did all the swapping is my little brother and a total mismatch so far as genetics is concerned.......


WELCOME ABOARD, DUFFMAN~~~

 

Thanks mom

 

Again yes, that depends on what the OP means by that or thinks he means by that "he took mfi out and put efi in". Again yea I assumed "mfi" was for "Multi-port Fuel Injection"

One is batch, one is sequential yea but both are MFI (Multi-port Fuel Injection) EFI systems, apposed to say throttle body injected / (Central Fuel Injection).

 

As far as I know the I-6 only came with MEFI, which is batched fired whether it was mass air or not is the question. SEFI wasnt available until the "catfish" f150's and superduties came to life. So there are only two ways to run the motor, carb or EFI. Beeping isnt a possibility for the computer as there isnt a speaker on the ECU. There is however a speaker for the door ajar, key in ignition beeper. So, please discribe what you do to get a beeping noise, if it was a computer problem you would have the check engine light lit not a beep.

 

^^^^ What he said.

The ECM doesn't have a speaker. I promise you that's what's not beeping, and if someone is telling you it is, you should stop listening to them on all matters automotive.

You're going to have to take a step back, explain in detail what's happening and not why you think it is. Give us as much detailed and specific information as you can so that we can help you.

In other words, help us help you. So far you've just confused a bunch of people who are willing and able to help you.

 

[RESOLVED]

Ok...finally figured out what the noise is...most likely seatbelt warning...have to check wiring as soon as I can get to the truck...thanks to KT for that answer.

 

If it's not the seatbelt it could also be the airbag warning. A while back there was a problem with my airbag, and I got tired of the blinking light- so i had the bright idea of just pulling the bulb. Little did I know that when you do this there is this annoying beeping for 10 sec when you start the truck and 10 sec every half hour it is running. Needless to say I put the light back in and installed a new sensor so it was off forever.

But still very annoying beeping that is not normal. Assume it would happen if you remove or burn out any bulb for check engine, airbag, chargine etc

 

Would that show up in the self-test codes?

 

You should count your blessings! If he ever remembers where he lost his other half, you'd have a complete *** on your hands. If his intentions were good but he got over his his head, thank them for doing the best they could under the circumstances (him half- assed, his buddy half witted). Get the keys, get a manual, start doing the finish up work yourself on your truck. It a perfect oppertunity to learn how the engine is monitored & controlled by the computer. Where your at with the truck right now is normal for when persons doing an engine switch think they'll remember where all the wires go to and don't label them as they go. There's plenty of people that will help you finish getting it running right. Just mentioning you were going to have to keep driving a Dodge was to much for some to bare and resulted
in 9 replies! Anyway, what kinda new engine do you mean? Crate new, rebuilt new or just new to that truck. Also, what caught fire? The engine, the truck and if it was the truck, was Uncle Half-*** in it with some moron sitting next to him at the time?

 

No that's not true, the mass air OBD-1 motors use sequential injection, but you are correct both the SD and MAF versions are considered multiport fuel injection systems.

 

Wasnt entirely positive on the Mass air systems but thanks for the correction. Now that I think about it I remember literature mentioning that for Mass air.

 

What's a "Catfish" F-150? In conversion of an 87' 5L w/AOD MAP to individual injector controlled MAF, wouldn't grabbing the ECU & wire harnesses off one of these OBD1's the simplest & best way to go or was their run so limited that it would be unlikly to find . Last and least important and I appoligize in advance. If D-man's uncle's friend was in fact, a total half-wit, would that also make him an Oxymoron?. I know, coming up with a half-wit answers has has never been a problem for me in the past, you'd think I'd know this one!

 

The reason I have to drive the Dodge at the moment is because of tranny probs with the truck...but those are getting worked on as well

 

"Catfish" F150 is the 1997 to 2003/4 that if you ignored the cab the front end kind of looked fishy.

The Sequentially fired OBD 1 would have to have a harness that had individual connections for each injector on the MAF that can have a common ground wire. The Bank fired system had 4 or 3 injectors on one fire of the computer and the other 4 or 3 had injectors on the other wire all with a common ground or supply if it was hot and the wire back to the ECU was a switch for flow. So yes you would need a complete wiring harness for the sequential unless the MAF was also bank fired. It is confusing even to look at the wiring diagrams. but the maf of the cars would be one to consider.
