zim Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Evening, Just a quick question about my tps on my v8. Looks like this pic : There are 3 wires - yellow, red & green. On my MS loom for the TPS i have - TPS 5v ref and TPS sig. and i'll make an earth. But could someone please tell me what the yellow, red and green wires are ? From the MS diagrams on here, i'm assuming green is the earth. Cheers Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Bar Cowboy Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Now Gordon, don’t you start a fecking argument as well ………….. The following are the DB37 connector pins Red (Signal) pin 22 Yellow (TPS +5V) pin26 Green (TPS Ground) pin 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Cheers I see the colours on that diagram are red, green and yellow (same as the tps). My ms loom has a blue wire and a grey wire - which are labelled so i'll match them to how you describe above Just another little question - what sort of current draw will the coils have ? Just deciding what size wire to run. What thickness gasket should i use in the plug G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Yellow is the supply (5v) Red is the signal Green is the earth edited - you got there already Edited March 2, 2010 by Dave W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just another little question - what sort of current draw will the coils have ? Just deciding what size wire to run. Never measured it but I usually use a 10A fuse and 1mmsq (16A) cable for the coils. That's only from memory so don't quote me on it or post it on the internet or anything. Um. Drat.

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 What thickness gasket should i use in the plug G Depends on what heads you use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 That should be ok then I should have phrased the above post differently "i'm just deciding if the cable i've run for 12v to the coil is big enough" lol cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Depends on what heads you use on the left hand bank is a 4.6 with tin gasket and on the right hand bank i've chopped the end off a td5's head and using silicone gasket sealer can you calculate my compression please G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 on the left hand bank is a 4.6 with tin gasket and on the right hand bank i've chopped the end off a td5's head and using silicone gasket sealer can you calculate my compression please G For gods sake thats completely wrong You should have cut 1 3 5 7 and 2 4 6 8 and run a composite gasket on one piston and the tin on the corresponding piston of the pair making up the 'V',also you should have skimmed alternate parts of both heads to ensure that the thin gasket matches the compression and CC volume of the composite one Don't you know anything ?

FridgeFreezer Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Don't forget to run smaller injectors in the odd cylinders, but with higher fuel pressure (Waits for TSD to point out Ford's 3+3 spark plug system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petethepilot Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I think Zim has set up a trick question, actually he´s color blind. The glue is that he said that all the wires in his loom are "blue and grey"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
