I dont know if it will work with your engine or not, but you might research Megasquirt. For under $500 you could build yourself or have somebody build for you a custom fully programmable standalone. Might be worth looking at anyways.

I recently found someone else that had a 91 n/a.
We plugged the ecu up and it works.

So I'm back to the drawing board.
Hopefully this problem is more simplistic than I originally thought.

Nice, good to hear you got that ecu. Whats going on with the car now?

Damn thing starts and runs but is bogged down.
While reving under the hood you can tell it's not reving right.

While it idles it sounds like a bad ass v8.

Keeps throwing code 14. so as I noticed in another post.
I have a lose clip for the afm.

I was wondering the other day if that could do it, i mean it hooks up just fine and doesn't move but is obviously not hooking perfectly.

Just got done tearing into her and resetting everything to tdc.

Going from there.

Bogged down how? Did it seem like just a timing issue or a ignition miss or something?

By the way, try some WD40 on the afm plug, that could help if its a somewhat bad connection.

Bogged down as in not reving fully.
Feeling restrained.

I sprayed starting fluid around all the vac lines and not even a shimmy from the engine.

I know my afm connect isn't plugging very well.
I wonder if you can hot wire that thing straight through?

I keep throwing code 31 which is afm ecu. I trouble shot and it said if those were fine to correct running lean. I pulled 6 and that's not the case.

The afm plug being faulty would make it throw a code. I hope.
