il start by asking what sensors i have that i dont know there or what they do

 

 

 

this comes out with the plug that gose on the oil preasure sensor

secondly i need to make sure i have all these on the right places

 

the green i assume is an earth and so is the other black one that i think is new

 

 

this is how i put them on the gearbox along with the main earth cable from the battery

 

 

the earth strap also earths on the body

 

 

is all this correct

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

First brown plug looks like the one for the evap solenoid iirc (not important), I think some of the crimp on female spades maybe for the dash, but you'd be best off getting the multimeter out and tracing them if you can't find any wire numbers..

Brown plug is the carbon canister valve, Blue and White are the coolant temp and high coolant temp (replace the 306 ones with the 205 ones as they give the original readings), Grey is the oil pressure sender, but you need to get one of these either a S16/XSi type or a adaptor as in my shop,

 

ECU power is right, the battery lead will go from the Batt to Starter then to the Alt, hard to tell in those pics, the cable normally for this runs behind the main engine loom thru the broken tie on the Alt, You will see a round hole in the metal plate on the engine for it

Have you given the shunt box a 12v feed?

Without this the fuse board will have no power, hence no dash lights

What is a shunt box? Any how is the best way to check live to it

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Black box bolted to the passenger side behind the head light, should be connected directly to the battery

earths are in wrong.

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

How is right?

[dcc 855]

you need to earth the chassis leg aswell.

 

hth

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

The small earth goes to the body, via the battery tray your relying on a earth thru the paint

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

Are both the 2 ring terminals both earths and are the ok to be bolted in the same place or is one to go into the chassie

[jamie_1992 66 1 Cars]

Ok so I have found 2 yellow wires that come from the loom out the back of the fuse box and connected them to positive and it's put all the lights on the dash is this correct?

[dcc 855]

oh gawd. have a read of the wiring guide on here before you fry something...

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

To be fair DCC, he's just looking for clarity. Probably to stop him from frying something!

 

And, there is not a comprehensive guide to the wiring on here as far as I can see?

[dcc 855]

There are many comprehensive guides to wiring all common types of engines!

 

None of which say connect 2 yellow wires to the positive of the battery terminal!

 

Im not trying to be funny or rude - but read the wiring diagrams, make sure you have your wire numbers

 

FYI you only need 2 ve+, an earth and fuel pump wires to make these engines run. gauges etc are all separate really.

It's runs!!!!!

 

Those yellow wires are earths I relise that thanks

 

The reason I was having all this trouble was there was not power going to the little black box on the grill

 

So thanks for the comments

 

All the wiring diagrams I have found tell you how to wire up the multi plugs and not what I was looking for
