If you don't know how to use a volt meter I wouldn't suggest having an EFI car at all, let alone trying to check a harness.
There is nothing wrong with not finding a harness local, shipping one is cheap.

just becuae i dont know how to read one dose not meen i should not own a EFi No seriously, it does mean exactly that...at least if you plan on fixing/diagnosing anything efi related yourself. Without knowing how to read a volt meter you'll just go in circles and spend money on random parts hoping to fix it (hence this 12 page thread). Knowing how to read a voltmeter you could diagnose whether the harness was the culprit in 5-10 minutes.

Yep, if you would have taken my advice, studied the wiring diagrams in the link I gave you weeks ago, knew how to use a multi-meter, you would be done by now.
FYI, there is no such word as "wright". It is either right (as in right or wrong) or write (as in I write a letter).

It's unfortunate that you can't take criticism without throwing a tantrum (every time). Truth is, we never called you dumb or a bad person. Not knowing how to read a volt meter doesn't make you a bad person (nobody said that) but it does mean you will not be able to diagnose an EFI car. There is no "maybe" to that statement. It's the truth no matter how much you don't like it.
Clearly those other sites couldn't help you either because here we are 4 months later and your car still runs like crap because you were never able to do any true diagnosis with a voltmeter.
Yes I saw your other threads on other forums and ironically enough, most of the info mirrored what was suggested here.
Hopefully that carb 5.0 treats you better. I'm truly sincere in saying that I think that is a much better match for you.
With all of that said, you've been banned for trying to bypass the language filter and badmouthing the forum, forum members, and the 2.3T engine.

For sale: 1 Volt meter 2. For Sale: 1 2.3t 3. This site is rated? therefore it is over rated? Where? 4. when saying something sucks...and its underlined in red it means a typo. 5. I reread this read and its more than enough helpful info to fix most any drive-ability issue remotely related. 6. who you calling a richard 7. a thread titled "how to read a DVOM" 8. calm down, don't guess, diagnosing means testing things not so much swapping them. 9. Even knowing a car inside and out it can still be impossible to elec prob without the vehicle being in front of you. 10. There are more sights out there but "sight" involves vision. So use your sight and find a site that will tell you the same thing 20 times and still be super nice after the 20th. 11. "EFI sucks" is hilarious. It commonly scares people 'cause "its a lotta switches 'n stuff" but its common accepted knowledge which is faster. Yell at it and do something diff.

He sure does. To be honest I didn't think I'd ever have to ban anyone that wasn't a spammer. He'd been on warning for over 3 months though.
If you check his thread in the 2.3T section of the site above (12 pages long as well), you'll see he's starting to realize the 5.0 swap isn't as cheap or easy as he was hoping lol!

WOOW! Lmao. Reading through that was like watching a soap opra. It had ups, downs, goods, bads, oowws and ahhs. I read the whole thread on my cell phone and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I even found myself yelling at my cell phone screen a couple times ( "just do it, oh my god, here we go again"). Man and then there was a shoking ending, ma man got banned. LOL!!!! I give two thumbs up. Stinger you gotta start letting us know when your gonna play a drama movie on the fourm. lol

Yeah, if he thinks we are "Richards" here, he would've thought Turboford was full of devil spawn.
Agreed about helping himself. His main issue was he only seemed to read/comprehend about half of what was said (or less).
