Cat_J Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 By what pump? The thing you circle is the temperature sender for the dashboard gauge, you rightly say the JT connector is the ECU coolant temp sensor. I thought it was another temperature sensor just not sure what the one of the front is then. When I said by the pump I meant this: And I thought this was the oil pressure, down lower on the side of the block: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah bottom one is oil pressure. I beleve the one on the stat housing is for the A/C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 OK that would make sense. I'm pretty sure the donor vehicle had A/C (1997 Disco). As its all a mismash at the moment he was taking the heater out of a TD5 and not bothering with A/C, then I suggested looking to a eberspacher or something similar so could be anything happening there now, but I'm sure there won;t be A/C.

Cat_J Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Also when I went back there to find the last unlisted wires, the last 2, which went to the dash, due to their length and location I think must be alternator, this makes sense to me as they must provide the battery light function. Its not the original alternator thats fitted now, but i'll obviosuly be reconnecting this. Are these simply a +ve and -ve connection for a voltage read or is there more to it? This is the back of the new alternator: Would anybody happen to be able to identify each connection? Sorry for all the questions but I'm really getting into this. I'd like to know everything I can in the hope that this will lead to future projects. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I believe that the switch you questioned is for the electric fan.... I have two fans, one wired from that and one from a different sensor so I have two independent systems.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Does anyone know the connector to git this water sensor? It looks like a bullet connection but not quite the same shape. Got most the leads made up just a couple of boots to change and I can start putting it together over the weekend. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thats the coolant sensor for the dash.....The one in front of it with the connection on already is the ecu one. ... I guess land rover must have kept the two systems separate for some reason? ?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah the bullet one is for the dash. Have made the legs up for the other sensors (ones in the photos) just need to find something that connects onto the dash one. Should be going up to see it tomorrow so will try some random bullet connectors Oh Btw, you seem to know your V8s, do you happen to know which injectors are which. I know its 2,4,6,8 and 1,3,7,9 but would like to number label each leg. Can't seem to find a diagram for this. Thanks Edit: found this, is it right?

Bowie69 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not sure what you are asking? the injector numbers are the same as cylinders....and you can tell by where they are placed on the inlet manifold as to which cylinder they refer to...

Disco-Ron Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Cat, yes that's correct. ... what I find s bit odd is that the ecu only triggers each set of injectors each time a cylinder on that side requires fuel...... so there are effectively four pulses of fuel per cylinder per cycle....... no wonder they're not the most fuel efficient engines. .....

Bowie69 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's very normal for fueling, even on much more modern engines, sequential injection has very few benefits over bank firing when you get into the science of it. They drink fuel cos they are a 1950s design and sound lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 And it makes the injector wiring very simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Done some work today: Do you guys know what connector this uses? Its the 4 pin connector for a v8 fuel pump, standard pump from RR/Disco I'm told: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Do you guys know what connector this uses? Its the 4 pin connector for a v8 fuel pump, standard pump from RR/Disco I'm told: Thanks That's a 4-way Econoseal connector. You need the 4-way female connector to connect to that pump/sender unit. The cheapest Econoseals that I've found, are from Polevolt - http://www.polevolt.co.uk/acatalog/info_ESC4F.html . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat_J Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Ah I should have noticed that. Got a few econoseals about but not a 4 way so I'll order one now, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
