According to a quick skim of my Bentley, as per memory, the 4 cyl (USA)
id Motronic, not CIS. IE, completely incompatible.

Every CIS-E3 car I've cut into has two control units - one for fuel, one
for ignition. In fact, my 90Q came to me with an 87.5 ign. computer
installed, that I sold the local tech to get it running again. Fuel in
one place, ignition buried in the right kick panel where windshield
leaks will kill it...
In short - as far as USA models go - the 4 cyl is Motronic and
completely incompatible with the 5 cyl CIS-E3 system.
As far as the ROW is concerned, well, we don't know for sure... they
won't tell us on the news, what's happening out there....
