3.9v8 110 wiring-help


Recommended Posts

hello. can any body help me wire a 3.9 v8 flap type injection into my hybrid?

the wires coming from the main 110 loom are-

WHITE/RED

TWO BROWNS

GREEN/BLUE

BROWN/YELLOW

BROWN/WHITE

BLACK/WHITE

wires coming from the engine loom harness are-

BROWN

WHITE/SLATE

I have no idea what the wires from the 110 do, the colours suggest the following functions:

WHITE/RED - Starter solenoid (+12v when cranking)

TWO BROWNS - Permanent +12v live

The rest I can't be certain off the top of my head.

As for the EFI loom you probably want to check the wiring diagram but the Haynes Book Of Lies says:

BROWN - +12v permanent feed

WHITE/SLATE - fuel pump relay coil, wire to ignition switched live

WHITE/PURPLE - From fuel pump relay to fuel pump VIA A FUSE (10A should be plenty)

BLACK/YELLOW - EFI warning light on dashboard, you can leave this disconnected

YELLOW - From road speed transducer

ORANGE/BLACK - To auto box neutral switch (I guess this is the start inhibit?) the wire is grounded by the switch but I dunno if that's "ground it to make it work" or "ground it to stop it working" :huh:

PURPLE/YELLOW - To heated screen, you can probably leave this disconnected although it would serve as a handy "idle up" input if you have anything engine-driven like a winch or compressor.

I did a cut and paste of this.

Some parts may be usefull.

Vehicle Wiring Colour Code Table

Many British designed vehicles use colour coded cables to assist in identifying the various circuits in use.

This is an extract from BS-AU7a 1983 Colour Code for Vehicle Wiring, from the British Standards Institution, 2 Park St., London W1A 2BS.

Note that these colour codes may not apply directly to older vehicles.

For example, the wipers on vehicles up to 1980 (at least) are not on a separate fuse circuit, so they are not orange, but green. Check the schematic for your vehicle to be certain.

Many of those are indeed correct for the main wiring harness, but with the engine looms LR threw it away and made their own thing up (or used a different standard - the flapper and hotwire colours are different too). Generally the brown = live, white = ignition switched live and black = ground thing holds up anywhere but after that I'd seek out the wiring diagram. I'm pretty sure it's been posted on this forum.

I have just done this and put details of how I did it on my V8 Auto Conversion topic in Members vehicles. I didn't include the 10a fuse in the fuel pump line though. FF is knowledgeable, so probably do as he says!!

FF (welcome back and congrats :)), is there a fuse in the original pump line, coz I couldn't see one on the LR wiring diagram. Can you explain your wisdom please for the benefit of all.

Also the V8 Owners Forum - Electrical section has a Sticky at the top with the EFI wiring diagram and an explanation.

It is fairly logical once you get your head round it, but definately worth some time planning the best routing.

Good luck.
