Awwww Crap
Feeling a little frail from a trip to the breakers yesterday & a Sunday afternoon from hell, trying to remove a FUBAR'ed security nut from one of my jeep wheels ( Got the bu**er in the end )
Today I thought I would have a play with the engine wiring loom When myself & Jas removed the engine from the Escort, I butchered the loom as I was intending to use Megasquirt & throttle bodies !!?? Any how's, hade a change of tac & have now decided to get the engine running with the stock ECU. One major problem was solved when I came across an ECU harness at the breakers. So today I dropped the ECU harness in the passenger footwell, found my bag of Escort engine loom & plugged in 2 of the 3 connectors .... So far so good. Could I find the 3rd part of the loom !!?? Could I heck .... Finally discovered the missing plug, only to find that it is a mangled mess. Just a plug with a mass of long wires Now I have the problem of tracing the Lambda sensor & MAF sensor wires back to the ECU pin outs ..... Not looking forward to that task. Does anyone happen to know where I can find a decent EEC IV pin out drawing ? There is one in the Escort manual but it is difficult to follow for an old fart like me with dodgy eyesight

Why not just get the missing bit of loom from a scrappy? Much easier.

There is another just down the road that I can try. Early Zetec engined escort are getting a bit thin on the ground !! For that part of the loom, it may not matter though . Here's where I am at so far Injectors, wired Throttle position sensor, wired Idle controll unit, wired Cam position sensor, wired Coil pack & balast, wired Edis4. wired Air temp sensor, Wired Oil pressure light, wired Gearbox speed sensor ( No idea if the ECU needs a signal from this ) Wired but not fitted to gearbox !!?? The 2 temp sensors to thermostat housing, Wired On the engine sensor side of things, I think I only need to trace 2 vital components. Id the 4 wires for the Lambda sensor Id the 4 wires for the Mass airflow sensor Both of those plugs are still on a section of loom .... I just need to tie those 8 wires into Plug 3 of the engine/ECU harness Things got a bit confusing when I noticed that 3 of the 8 wires are just plain Brown !! .... I am assuming that the are all negative wires but do not know if they need to be grouded, direct to the ECU Alternator & starter can be wired up from scratch. No idea if the cooling fan swich is tied to the ECU in any way ? Once I have sorted that out, I will then have to identify the wires that had to be cut on the ECU loom, the ones that went to the fuse box & into dash ( That's a nice little bundle too )

if you have got the edis4 wired up then you have all you need for spark. with injectors tps and temp sensors it should run.
if it wont i will pop down this weekend and give you a hand when im down for exeter if you like.
