Alastairh 47 Posted February 23, 2007 Fairly easy, 8 or so wires. Do a quick search as this is a much talked about subject! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taylorspug 7 Posted February 23, 2007 If you are using a BX loom, getting the engine running is as easy as this: A yellow wire comes out of the loom close to the ECU . this is the fuel pump feed and needs to be connected to wire 76, which is white and used to go to the tach relay (which you no longer need). The thick blue wire goes to the power distribution block mounted on the slam panel, its the permanent 12v feed. At the end of the loom there is a 2 pin plug which has a green and yellow wire in it. The green is for the rev counter which goes to wire 112 or 112a on the loom plug under the dash on the 205. The yellow is the ignition switched live. Done!
