Hey all,
I'm currently about to undertake the task of swapping in an intake
manifold/TBI onto my 1982 Jeep CJ7's Iron Duke "Hurricane" 151 cid 4-cyl
engine. I've taken all the parts from a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera
(These are the exact same engines, minus the Fuel Injection!).
The actuall installation of the manifold/TBI is nothing for me to
do... its all the wiring! I took all the wiring that was attached to
the two plugs on the ECM (which is a 1227748). I noticed that the ECM
controls the Transmission in the Oldsmobile, which I have cut off from
the harness... also the electic fan wiring has been cut off...
So, can I just cut and cap off the wires that I don't need? This
probably is so insanely simple once I figure out what I'm doing, that
I'll be kicking myself for even asking you all, lol... what should I be
aware of? I don't want to just remove wiring that doesn't go anywhere
and have the ECM not work properly (i.e. the wiring I cut off from the
Transmission etc)
The electronics of it all is the scarry part for me... I don't
understand one bit how an engine can even run off a computer anyway, lol...
Tell me whatever you all know, even if it sounds stupid, lol... what
parts I need etc, and I'll make sure I've got everything squared away
before I undertake this! (BTW, I'm hoping to do this in about 2-3
weeks, and will attempt to complete the entire swap within a week...
Like I said, once I plug everything in and plug it into the ECM the
thing will run flawlessly being the same engine, I'm just scared it
wont, lol)
