What years did 3.8 have TB fi

Hello

Im looking at doing a conversion on my 2.8l bronco2. I have read that TB fi from the 3.8l motors bring my motor to life. I would like to know which years it came in? Also I need wiring digrams for this project.

TIA

84 or 85 to 87. Not sure if 84 was still carb or not.

82-87

there are three versions of the CFI but you will be best served with any CFI on the 6 cyl only. These will have green top injectors.

there are a hundered questions i have but if you wanna try it then do so.

I assume your bronco II is CFI?

If so, measure the resistance of the injector and if it is near 35 ohms, then you should be fine.

Im not about to compare the broncoII wiring to the 3.8cfi cause that on you.

there are plenty of wiring diagrams in my DIY link below so have at it.

Post a pic of the CFI you have.

Hello

My Bronco2 has an electric carb that work off of a computer. This motor is a 2.8l. The problem ford used this setup for a couple of years then s it. In europe this engine was used from 74-85 on a carb and standard ignition and it was a great little motor. Read this if this helps http://therangerstation.com/tech_library/2_8_FuelInjection.html .
This is what im thinking of. Or I will switch my motor over to a carb with a duraspark conversion. http://therangerstation.com/tech_library/2_8Duraspark.html.
I hope this helps.

According to wikipedia the 3.8 was introduced in 1982 and CFI was introduced in 1984.

Hello

Anything is an upgrade to the 2.8l motors. The setup that ford had on this motor was a POS from day one. My buddies dad owned one brand new and it was gutless. I will fix what ford would not do.
