the bey Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 im in need of some help with wirein in a 3.9 from a L plate rrclasic. i have fitted the engine and engine loom but now need to wire it into my 90. i know that the puple whit is fuel pump but thats about it. i have a few wirein diagrams but cant really work it out. i have used the starter feed and switch from exsistin 90 loom so i can turn it ova but now need the rest! many thanks! ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have all these then I can tell you what you need as inputs and outputs from the EFI system. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve hi the engine loom has the main ecu and the two relays in it. i have been doin some searchin and have found the main ones ......... i think....hope these are where the car loom joins the other loom under the dash on rr oblong conector with following wires white/gray- ign 12v white purple- fuel pump live supply black yellow- efi warnin lamp yellow- speed sensor brown- constant 12v supply black ora- neutral/park start switch wire purple yellow heated front screen is there anythin else i need for it to run??? any input would be of help!

FridgeFreezer Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I thought the engine loom was complete/separate (up to a certain year) and could be wired in relatively easily? Mind you, I'm also fairly sure the certain year when it became a massive hassle was about H plate If you've got wiring diagrams can you scan/photo them and post up explaining which bits you have got and which bits you either haven't got or don't understand?

LittleBlue88 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 There are two seperate looms on the efi v8's! The loom you are refering to is the injection loom,but there is also your engine loom which serves the starter,alternator,coil,temp and oil pressure sender units.

B/Y is efi warning symbol. I assume this is a light to tell you there is an efi fault. Y road speed transducer....not sure if system will work without this. O/B Auto trans neutral switch or connect to a 510 Ohms resistor if manual. Do you have the Lambda sensors? Do you have the W/B wire and resistor connected to the coil negative?

Steve yes i have all lambda sensors and are all fitted and conected back up. wired it all up today includin the w/b wire on coil neg but not gettin any spark or injector outputs from ecu. the relays are all switchin so is the fuel pump output, traced it back to the ignition module on side of the dizzy and it seems that it has gone down so not havin signal to the coil or ecu, couldn get one today but will first thing tom. fingers crossed it should start with the new one fitted! wish i had stuck with the tired old 3.5 on carbs it had in there now! lol thanks.

You have got the resistor at the coil terminal for the B/W wire? I think it is there so the spike from the ignition does not blow the ECU.
