Miles 331 1 Cars Posted November 17, 2005 The way I always do them unless the cars around a pre 88 model (Sensor loom is seperate) I make a new sensor loom which benifits from new cable which hasn;t corroded like they do which makes crimping/soldering difficult. The 405 loom needs the oil pressure wire anyway and a few removing so if you start you may as well finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d-9 0 Posted November 17, 2005 You may want to check out the "Mi16 wiring guide thread" in the general forum from about a week ago, there was a bit of debate on this subject. Personally I think a totally new sensor loom is overkill as apart from the occasional spade connector falling off, Ive never had a problem with the sensor loom, just the injection looms. For my current Mi coversion I pulled out the 8v loom, stripped out all the injection wiring and coil wiring, leaving just the wires for the sensors, the switched live, fuel pump wire and rev counter wire. This has left me with a tidy sensor loom which is taped up with the injection loom. *That* bit of the loom is fine, its the crappy old BX wiring that I have issues with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
