Not too much progress with the build since midweek, been a little tied up doing other things.
That said, I went out to the workshop for a tidy up & took the fancy of having a crack at wiring the engine up .... Yep, that's me .... Working in an entirely random manner.
This is probably not the best way of doing things but it make me feel good & at least it contributes towards crossing another job from the list
Some of you may have read in the electrics section of the forum, I ran into a wee bit of a problem !!??
This is a continuation of that thread really but being as it is some progress, I thought I would post my result's here
Thinking that I would get right back to basics, I sat down the other evening & went through the ECU & Engine management diagrams.
Took a spare EEC IV plug & labeled all of the tails .... Here's a picture of the end product.
The tag's have all been checked, then double checked & thanks to Enoch, I was able to check once more from a chart that he kindly sent me
To be honest, when you sit down & really study the engines wiring diagrams, it is really quite straightforward ( That's going to come back & bite me !! )
My plan is to make up a custom engine loom to suit .... Just a personal preference really, that way I will have a loom that is tidy & will fit, where I want it to fit.
I guess it will also save the effort of trying to bundle up those extra feet of cable out of the way.
Next job is to do a little research into what sensor wires coming from the ECU I will not need.
A few spring to mind as possible definates .... Air conditioning wires, Power steering pressure switch, canister purge solenoid
A couple of not sure's .... Gearbox speed sensor ? & Inertia cut off switch ?
That's where I am at the moment, i'll not be working on the build for the next week, sadly I have other things that need to be done.
Keep you all posted folks.
