I have an 87 TII.

It has red injectors and a resistor pack.

I looked at an 87 TII.

It has tan injectors and a resistor pack.

WTF?

Is there a difference between the tan and red? My friend also has one with reds and resistors... They're both the stock setup, so whats the deal?

 

Something doesn't sound right...
If you can, pull one of the fuel injectors out and measure the resistance?

my tester is all messed up i think, lately everything reads the same resistance it seems... but i dont have time to take it all apart right now, i was just wondering if anybody had any ideas?

Both the motor originally in my car AND the JSPEC i got had red injectors and required a resistor... Thes one i looked at was the first i've seen with tan ones.

 

the tan ones are s4 turbo 550 cc's. sounds like you have s4 NA 460 cc's.

84-85 13B NA, low square center, 680cc, orange, 195500-0900
86-87 13B NA, low square center, 460cc, red, 195500-1350
86-87 13B Turbo, low square center, 550cc, tan, 195500-1370
88 13B NA, high square offset, 460cc, purple, 195500-1350
88 13B Turbo, high square offset, 550cc, purple, 195500-1370
89-91 13B NA, high oval center, 460cc, red, 195500-2010
89-91 13B Turbo, high oval center, 550cc, purple, 195500-2020

 

Read the number on the injector. Should be something like 19550-1370.

You can read the resistance without removing the injectors/manifold. Just ***** the power wire at the resistor package with one lead and pull the small plug off the ECU and put the other meter lead on the green wires one at a time. You'll usually see something on the order of 8.6 ohms at each wire if you have low resistance injectors. More like 20ohms if your using high resistance injectors.
