For a hell of a lot less money then $80, you could get a 3.1L fuel rail, injectors, sensors, ecm, harness, etc and just convert to the later engine management.

 

But if i wanted to get this from summit would the motor still run right with out the cold start vavle and tube? would the 2.8 manafold still work with the 3.1 set up or would i need to change that also? Thanks for the help

 

It's only used at startup. You could plug it, but it would crank longer before starting. A '730 conversion would be a lot of work just to get around a leaky cold start injector, but it's a good ecm anyway. To do it you'll need to plug the cold start injector, switch to an electric egr, wire in a knock sensor, ditch the maf, repin the harness (switch connectors too) and wire in a map sensor. It should run fine with the 2.8, but if you want a 3.1 all you need to do is swap cranks and pistons. Or keep the stock ones and have them milled.

 

Well how could i fix the cold start vavle. IT is leaking on the fuel rail. I have replaced the o ring on it but the tub that goes to the fuel rail is still loose when dthe nut is tight. YOu can push and pull up in and out not much but enoght for it to leak I dont know if it is leaking on the back side or not. Tanks for the help

 

Mind rephrasing that? What's the 'tub'?

 

figure out a way to plug it for less then $80 and Id say go for it.

 

Sorry I mean tube.

I think i found the problem. Looking back in some old pics I saw that the o ring was bigger then the one that napa gave me. So to find out the o ring i bounght was to thin for it. I found the o ring and now she is leak tight. Thanks for all the help.
