Ok, I have a Batch Fire DFI sitting here ready to be installed on my car.

The Car has a digital dash, so I don't know if this would work.

I have the 3-bar map sensor. Could I just plug it into the connector where the analog dash boost guage plugged in and splice the signal wire into the MAF signal wire? I'm not sure if it has the +5v going to it as it wasnt used on the digital dash cars.

Thanks
 
I had this same situation with my car many years ago. While the MAP sensor connector is there under the hood, at the other end of the wires is..... nothing. I made all the jumper connections under the dash, behind the glovebox where the appropriate wires are in close proximity. In fact, when I originally did it in 1997, I prepared the following instructions. Good luck!

DFI UNDER-DASH HOOKUP


01. Remove Pass. side dash kick cover
02. Tip down glove box (push in sides, tip completely down)
03. Locate Connector C437 (see 8A-201-17, figure C)
- Locate Black wire at pin G (MAP sensor ground)
- Locate Lt Green wire at pin A (MAP sensor signal)
- Locate Gray/Black wire at pin B (MAP sensor 5V)
04. Examine ECM Connector.
- Locate Yellow? wire at pin B6 (small connector) (MAF signal)
- Locate Gray wire at pin C14 (large connector) (TPS 5V)
- Locate Black wire at pin D12 (large connector) (TPS GND)
05. For Analog dash skip to step 8
06. Connect a jumper from C437 pin G to ECM D12 (GND)
07. Connect a jumper from C437 pin B to ECM C14 (5V)
08. Connect a jumper from C437 pin A to ECM B6 (Signal)
09. For digital dash: Test presence of 5V and Ground at MAP sensor
10. Test DFI operation
11. Button everything back up
