a few abf questions

[oakgreengolf]

No LOL I need to cut out a little where the trottle cable goes. Bloody steering column is different too! tried swapping the end bit over but its not the same where it mates to the wheel so i'm going to have to swap the whole lot over  . Oh Rubjonny remember that green and red wire that came out of block F it ends up 6 spaces down from the thick brown wire on the ecu, if that makes any sense.

hmm, looks like the MK3 mount setup must make the lump sit higher then!  mates abf had no bonnet clearnace issues on the MK2 mounts.  Oh well!
As for the UJ which end is the problem, did you not have PAS before hand?  I know the MK3 UJ will work with a MK2 column and a MK3/late corrado rack, perhaps thats what you need?

as for the pin, I think you need to take a piccy, or I could send you my ABF wiring diagram which shows you all the pin numbers plus has a pic of the actual pin layout on the plug

Nealy there just a few things I can't find homes for:

     

[rubjonny]

those are for the 16v KR isv control unit, which you no longer need.  follow them back and you'll find it behind the centre console. Fetch reasonably good money too, especially with uncut loom

[oakgreengolf]

OK thats good everthing is plugged in, only problem is that red/ green wire



according to fusebox FAQ wiring diagram the only red and green wire in block F is to pin number 5. Ive just checked this out and its already occupied. However i had to cut this lead to remove the loom from the car so not sure where this goes now. The wire I have spare in the pic above goes to the ignition switch on the ecu, not sure now whether it did come out of block F?

Ive tried putting the ignition switch lead that i have in F5, the car will prime and keep priming when you turn the key as if starting the car, even if you hold it there it will keep going. With the lead removed it will only prime once and not continuously.

So so close but no cigar.

did you get the pinouts i pmed you ?

[oakgreengolf]

yes got them cheers. The green and red wire that i have spare is the ignition switch on the ecu. sorry its probably plain obvious where it goes but i can't see it

[rubjonny]

you say you cut the wire, where does the other end go? and whats this 'ignition switch on the ecu'?

[danny_p]

ignition live feed to ecu perhaps

[rubjonny]

ah perhaps.  I have seen a few red/green wires kicking about in wiring diagrams, generally they're rev counter feeds.  my thoughts are that wire needs a starter feed, so the ECU knows the engine is turning on the starter?

edit: sorry I meant rev counter feed!
