But, if i leave the MPI pump.....would it be better?
The problem with my engine is it runs on 3 cylinders! Anything i could swap over from the 1.6 engine?

ok.....we checked it this morning and there's a fucked valve.
I'm going to try putting the inlet from the sri, onto the 1.6, see if it will work.
