I think they have different engine management and emission control systems:
MHA - EEC V:

MHB - EOBD

The Haynes Fiesta Manual (3397) can answer a lot of your questions.

Hmmmmmmmm
Both have eecV as engine management
Both Have OBD sad.gif(
My question is simple
1 have 2 engines 1 MHA 1 MHB
I want to swap the MHB in the MHA place using MHA engine electric loom, MHA exhaust maniflood and catalizateur and 1 Hego senzor, MHA ecu + key and so on, MHA gear box
Is that all i need to do?
Kind regards Radu

You have a code on the engine that's first
Then MHA has 1 hego sensor and analog dials
The MHB has 2 hego and digital dash
I want to use all MHA loom gear box and so on on the MHB engine

So the mistery has been solved
If you want to change an MHA engine with an MHB engine but to keep all from the MHA you need
MHB engine with or without gearbox
MHA engine loom both parts
MHA fuel rail including MHA injectors
MHA water cooling block the one below the coil
MHA catalitic converter with exhaust maniflood and 1 HEgo senzor
MHA ecu
MHA key and PATS
MHA millage conector
So basicaly i put an MHB engine in a MHA car keeping all MHA wirring
Everithing work engine started at half key
My friend is very happy me also biggrin.gif:D:D:D
Work time ~ 20 Hours with a full service making all fluids and filters changed
Kind regards Radu

Glad about your change. May I ask you: I have a different problem. I don't know if my car is MHA or MHB (I bought it in Germany, registered in April 2000). How can you physically tell/see an MHB engine from an MHA? Apparently here in Catalonia I am not allowed to drive it (environmental emissions) if it is MHA. I thought it was the same engine simply adding two lambdas, one in front one behind of the catalyst,

Any info would be gold.

The MHA/MHB designation forms part of the engine number marking

http://www.pumapeopl...image&img=10471

The engine is largely similar but the second lambda plays a part in the emissions as it monitors the efficiency of the cat - without it the cat may fail and you would not know. With it you will get an engine management light and P0420 catalyst efficiency fault code.

Post the VIN if you have it, it can also be checked on build date.
