I just installed a walbro 255 and am using a friends 97-99 ecu on my 95 because my ecu is getting socketed ATM. I go to fire it up it starts to turn on and stumbles and keeps on stumbling as long as I am cranking the key, the moment i let go it dies. the more i crank the more it stumbles, so i give up. I also hear a noise from my fuel pump after i let it die. Sometimes when I crank it it doesn't even stumble just makes a wierd noise.

I don't have an AFPR yet, but I ordered one and it should be coming in the mail, do you think the problem will be solved after I get it on?
 
the 95-96 cam angle sensor is inverted from the 1g and 97 and up sensors. You have to change your spark plug wires around. Swap wire 1 and wire 2 with each other and swap wire 3 and 4 with each other. Somebody can verify this but I think you need to swap the injectors plugs as well to avoid random misfire problems.

ahh thank you! I swapped them and it runs! I did try doing this earlier but I don't think i switched the right wires LOL.
thanks again
