No. Is the crank pulley off? If not take it off. Takes a little work with angles but nothing that difficult.

The oil filter neck is more in the way than the UDP

Ahh, you are using the gooseneck oil filter from the stratus style. Have fun. I do not have personal experience as I used the SRT setup.

Do what you can as far as rotating it slightly to gain what clearance you can. If not already, remove radiator and as much engine bay components enabling more play room if necessary.

Last resort may be to remove transaxle and install both as a whole, angling them in with load leveling chains.

Me and you are on the same page the trans is going to have to come out the oil filter neck is not going to let it in

I got mine in just fine, you just need to angle it right and it might get real close but just keep going and it'll go in.

Mount it somewhere else? I ditched mine.

Common sense bro: if you cannot mount it somewhere within the reaches of the cables, then get a non cruise control cable.

I took it lose and it sits on my missing link on the side of my obx manifold works great got it on the road runs great but it ldles rich and its rich when I'm crusin I do have 550 rc Injectors with a apeix safc and it didn't do it on my 2.0 but the 2.0 had JE pistons .20 over and eagle rods with 8:8-1 compression I don't know if that plays in with the problem

I have no idea what you said or are asking. Air Flow Converters are not tuning tools - they are bandaids. If you are running rich then lean it out or play with your fuel pressures to compensate.

I am a little confused here. If you pulled off a 2.4 swap you should be able to handle this bro. Look at the wiki or even google.

It won't running rich untill I did the swap I wanted to see if it had something to do with the swap I can built anything the tuning is another story I know how to fix it I'm up here to see what other people have done as far as the safc it works fine as long you don't go to big on the injectors sorry for the confusing you I just wanted to see what others have done

Ok, enough of this mix match of words without punctuation.

It comes down to this, as with any other tuning session. Taking into account fuel trims and pressures, use the wideband to monitor your changes and watch for any detonation.

What are you using to monitor AFR's? Why are you running 550's?
