Crossfire Injection
Greetings. I'm Now The Owner Of An '84 By Inheritance. It Has 5200 Miles! I've Never Owned A Vette. The First Thing I'm Trying To Find Out About Is The Crossfire Injection System. So Far, I'm Not Hearing Good Things. Any Thoughts From Anyone? Thanks

This site has a wealth of information dedicated to the crossfire injection V8 http://www.crossfire.homeip.net/
The crossfire engine is a very reliable platform. The intake and heads are the major restrictions but, can be easily modified or replaced to make decent power.

If you are content with a fairly fast (Low 13's defiantly possible) car and don't mind spending a little time the crossfire is a good system. BTW if you have thick skin and don't take things to personal CFI-EFI is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the crossfire.

If you are going to work on it, make your first purchase a factory service manual. Go HERE. Your second purchase should be a digital volt-Ohm meter (DVOM). If you are familiar with GM EFI, the Crossfire is simply a throttle body injection (TBI) system with two 1 bbl TBs instead of one 2 bbl TB. If you aren't too familiar with EFI pick up a book or two on the subject. The FSM will help a lot but it is hardly a primer. As FD2NLK alluded, my 160,000 mile, worn out, stock long block, engine runs high 13's, as is. It has never had a head or the pan off.

Welcome
I just got my first crossfire as well wich was parked for about 4 - 5 years. New oil, reapaired some rubbers and the fuel pump connection hose, new saprk pñugs and cables (were very bad, and just started!!. Valves were stuck so missed a few cylinders. Poored some fine oil into the tb´s wile idling in order to lubricate valve stems. Improved directly. Now the engine runs very fine, no error codes and I am extremely happy with her. Just enjoy the car, its a special!!

Within just a couple of days, I'm realizing just how special it is to own this car. I drove it to work today to show off, and everybody is going Ga Ga! But I'm anxious to get it back home to the garage, grab a chair and a couple of AMERICAN beers, stare at it for a few hours, and thank my DAD endlessly, may he rest in peace.
Thanks again to everyone. I've obviously entered into a beautiful new world!

Welcome to the world that is Corvette madness, Ive also recently bought an 84 crossfire to go with my 1990, but I have just fitted the ally heads and complete speed density TPI system that I had left over from my 1990 using a 91 Fbody ECM .
