When i removed the wiring from the toledo the green and red wire that was coming out of block F didn't follow all the other engine loom ones so I had to cut it thinking I could just reconnect it now. But I have no idea what it does or where it goes.

The other green and red wire is coming from the ecu ive now found out is the ignition switch start signal. Any ideas where this goes? Had a look on fusebox FAQ still unsure?

I'm confusing myself here as I have two green and red wires which I can't locate.  :sad:

Which wire will need the rev counter feed. the ecu one or the one in f5. Also would I get the rev feed from one of the coil wires.

Your help is greatly appreciated by the way!!  :smiley:

First problem was the red/black lead was on the wrong spade connector on starter motor (at least I think this is why it wasn't trying to start)

spoke to danny p who suggested putting the green/red wire to an ignition live signal.

Only problem now is the water pump is leaking  :sad:

Engine is alive just a few niggly bits to sort. all the brakes need bleeding. Steering column to re-fit + tidy wiring up. Bumper/ grill to put back on. Water-pump is leaking. Also rear lights are on permanently not sure whats going on there?. Bonnet needs a little bit cutting out underneath as its fouling on the throttle body. Need it all done by monday as I have no car for work.  :sad:
