Vinnie, try another computer. I bought a bunch of stuff from some local Mustang guy a few years back. He gave me a Mass Air comp since I told him I was doing the conversion. I wired everything, double checked everything and guess what... the car wouldn't start. I then put it back to stock, put my old SD comp back in and I was going fine.

I met up with the guy again and told him it didn't work. He gave me a new comp and the car fired right up.

I'm looking for info anywhere and everywhere.Perhaps the computer is toast.How would one get it checked?I'll look around for another one if the price is right.I have run the funds down since I've been acquiring a lot of parts.

I did swap the two wires,then added the two from the mass air plug,then spliced in the hot and ground.

More as progress (or lack of progress) occurs.

Whatever you need 2 buy to do it right spend the money or just relax and take the time to check every last wire before you buy anything else.

I'm taking my time.I never get in a hury.That's why I boght a replacement computer and probably a harness that may not work..On the good side of the extra parts bought and money spent,If the computer is bad,Good.I know the problem,all is well,and I can sell the Stang Mass Air harness.If the computer is good,and it was the harness,good.I can re-sale the A9P computer easy to get my money back.It'll eventually work out.It'll bother me til it does,but it will work.I will continue to post until I get it solved.Thanks guys for the love and support.........or,at least for trying to help.LOL.

Yes there is a difference..  and yes I do know them... and yes I have posted that information three different places...

The connectors by the booster to interface with the dash harness are different, there are no VSS signal wires in the 87 engine harness.
One 88
