the 3.1 is neither. It is a MultiPort Fuel Injected car. Which rules TBI out. It has a similar setup to Tuned Port Injection but it isnt quiet the same. Its a suquential (sp?) fuel injected motor.

I hate the 3.1 engine with a passion. My moms was junk. Change the stat on it and it airlocked bad. 2 shops couldnt get the damn thing unairlocked. Then one day the car caught on fire...

Poop on the 3.1

The version in the F-Body in 92 should be a MPFI system which is batch fire not sequential.
