Whats This Electrical Connector?

[DirtyFlare 0]

I just went to fit a new ecu temperature sensor when i found out that my current ecu temperature sensor doesnt have anything pluged into it?!

 

any way back to this topic, i looked around the area for the ecu temp connector and i found this;

 

 

could someone please tell me what it is meant for and where it is meant to go?

 

Thanx

I'm guessing by the location that its the power feed for the SAD, which is bolted onto the thermostat housing underneath the dizzy

nope its not the sad power feed, i checked that and the plug that goes into that is blue this is red.

On a Jetronic loom, the ECU temp sensor plug is blue, SAD is black, and reverse light is white.

umm so does that mean i could have the blue connector going into the SAD is actually the ecu temp sensor feed?

 

the connector pictured above comes out of the wiring loom with the plug that goes to the dizzy, the two wires that go into the black end are blue and white, then it plugs into the red plug with a rubber part attached to it and then goes no where!?

 

how can i tell if i have a jetronic loom?

It is a Jetronic loom you've got - the Motronic looms used a flywheel pickup rather than one from the dizzy like you've got.

 

And yes, by the sounds of it, someone's wired it up wrong - the blue plug is for the ECU temp sensor, and that black one should be plugged into the SAD.

i swapped them around and woohoo!!!!!

 

my car sprung into action without any need for throttle and it didnt hesitate like it usually does.

 

thank you Anthony for your help, just wished i found out earlier, ahh well

 

now ive just got to find out what this red connector is meant for.....
