i just got my injection together and i got it to run. does bog or anything at wot. but my whole exhaust ssystem is smoking and the mufflers were burning to the touch and i got this error any suggestions?
Refer your other post.
We have no idea what has been done to your car by a PO
Until you have confirmed everything about your conversion is correct and operational ,you are wasting your time and ours
with continual one liner questions.

You really need to go back to basics and learn
When it had a carb , it did not need a computer so it would not have a "chip set up for the carb".
When a carb conversion is done , the computer usually goes in the rubbish bin along with a lot of the redundant TPI wiring
which is why you need to CHECK all your TPI wiring to see if it is still functional
A FSM would be almost essential
I would guess you got some of those errors because sensors were disconnected or somehow rigged to fool the ECM into thinking it was getting "legal" readings.
in my picture is that little chip on the left under the barcode the memcal?
No. The memcal is actually two parts:
The mem part is the EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). That holds the program and data that the ECM uses to run your car.
The cal part is the resnet (resistor network). It takes the place of the EPROM if there is a major problem (the service manual calls it "backup mode", but most people call it "limp mode" or "limp home mode").
The ECM can usually "fake it" if a sensor fails (for example, if the MAF is bad the ECM will use the TPS reading to estimate air flow). In limp mode the ECM only uses the CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor), TPS and DRPs (Distributor Reference Pulses) and ignores all the other sensors.
There is some controversy over what exactly will cause the ECM to go into limp mode. Bob Rauscher said it would do it if the battery voltage went below 9 volts. I tested this on a spare ECM that I have and I got it down to 6 volts and it was still working so I don't know how he got that. I do know that you can put a 3.9K resistor across ALDL terminals A & B to force limp mode. That test is shown in the FSM in the ECM section. I looked at the code in the ECM programming and it sets a flag when the 3.9K resistor is detected. I looked around a little bit but didn't see where that flag is used or what it does. That's as far as I have gone with that. A future research project that is on my list...
