roguevogue Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I am in the process of fitting Efi for the X-Eng challenge on the weekend. I am fitting 3.9 system from 91 RR. My question is, do I need to connect to things like the speed transducer (my car doesn't use one) or is it as simple as putting power in and taking a feed out for the fuel pump ignoring the other 6 wires. Help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yes you need the speed transducer otherwise it wont idle properly. IRC you need connections to:- +ve permanent Switched ign +ve Fuel pump starter solenoid You also need to connect via the ickle resistor to the negative side of the coil so it knows the engie is running. I think thats it! Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help please. It will run without the speed transducer but will be a tad rough at tickover and needs to be driven by the speedo drive from the gearbox, slowing to a halt in say 1st quickly will prob see it stall If the unit was a cat unit ECU fir the Non Cat tune resistor this will help Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 If you, or anyone else needs one, i've got an ex 3.9 efi transducer here, along with the little 12" or so length of speedo cable to connect it to the transfer box. £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 nick, if you get really stuck, and decide to junk the bog standard EFi stuff, then i have a fair number of parts for a megasquirt installation, including the coil packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 It runs! I stayed late tonight to connect the wiring up, Paul (Wightman) stayed behind to help, for which I am extremely grateful. I have connected a permanent live and an ignition live, connected the fuel pump to the white/purple wire and earthed the auto gearbox switch wire and it runs. Whether it runs well in use without being connected to the transducer remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
