Fuel Injection
What may have been the largest challenge of all: a route to pass the wiring harness from under the dash into the engine compartment without drilling any new holes. There's a hole on the roadster body between the firewall/toe-board and the engine compartment that worked well for passing the wiring harness through.

Fuel Injection Throttle Position Sensor
The throttle position sensor (TPS) monitors the throttle valve position (which determines how much air goes into the engine) so the ECU can respond quickly to changes, increasing or decreasing the fuel rate as necessary.

Fuel Injection Idle Air Control
The idle air control (IAC) regulates the volume of air bypassed around the closed throttle. It stabilizes idle speed during cold-engine and after warm-up procedures.

Fuel Injection Map Sensor
This is an example of the MAP sensor from FAST. The MAP sensor monitors the pressure of the air in the intake manifold. The amount of air being drawn into the engine is a good indication of how much power it is producing; and the more air that goes into the engine, the lower the manifold pressure, so this reading is used to gauge how much power is being produced.

You will adjust the timing once in traditional fashion then from this point on the computer will take over. Use an infrared heat gun to check the exhaust temperature of each header tube. If all injectors are good, they should be within 35 degrees of each other at idle.
