As above,all 3 earths on the inlet connected,the premanent live is on battery but the ecu light will not go on,nor do the revs move when cranking.
Any ideas why or what ive missed??

ignition live its on seperate plug.?

Andy

thats connected but it should light the ecu light regardless

Andy
29-07-10, 05:45 PM
oh,and ive tried a different ecu and still the same...........

Fuel pump relay. If it's wired right the ecu takes power via this.

/\ what he said, btw andy mine doesnt put an ecu light on for 2 secs, then it comes on.....

Andy

so basically im a fukktard and need to stop being impatient and join the rest of the wires?

Sloth
29-07-10, 09:17 PM
yes lol

well,joined the rest of the wires,came on for a bit and has now gone off,so im presuming there is a connection at fault,doesnt power the fuel pump either

Sloth

change the fuel pump relay, or short it out wih some wire

tried another relay which i know is good as its off my xe,no avail

hmm, tricky without seeing it....
are you in a rush for the car to be done? i can pop up next weekend....

Andy
31-07-10, 06:12 PM
yeah,i need it done to be fair,going to have another crack tomorrow.Its gotta be summat daft as the light came on then went off.However the pump,as i said,didnt come on after cranking,which it used to with the xe.
Just dont understand as theres fukk all wires to them lol
Just be a case of trying each connection i suppose
how do you short the relay,just join a wire from the live to the pump terminals or summat?

Sloth
31-07-10, 06:22 PM
yup just direct feed the pump. blue/red wire...

Andy
31-07-10, 06:23 PM
what about the ecu light problem though?
getting fuel is ok,but with no spark it no fire lol

Sloth

try the crank sensor mate....

Andy
01-08-10, 12:32 AM
thats a known good un off the xe

Sloth

wiring ok to it? the other thing is, the little black wire near the coil, wire it direct to the battery live. the car should start but it wont turn off till you disconnect it. if this works you need a different switched live. if that doesnt work, check pin 18 and pin 27. 27 should be a permanent live from the battery, 18 should come on when the ign is on and when cranking. is it out of a cav or a mk2 astra?

Andy

its out of a k reg calibra.cheers mate ill give it a go later

Sloth
01-08-10, 11:00 AM
small possibility of it being immobilizered mate on a k plate.

Andy
01-08-10, 11:03 AM
so what would the answer to that be? lol
im ready to fire it haha

Sloth
01-08-10, 11:09 AM
another non immob ecu. i have one..... and a **** load of spares. you can have em tbh....

Andy
01-08-10, 05:41 PM
tried absolutely everything and more and it just wont go.ready to light the lot now

Sloth
01-08-10, 08:08 PM
bugger. best i can do is come up on sat next week and bring a **** load of spares. it will be something basic. i feel for you mate, as the corsa did the same to me....

Andy
01-08-10, 09:26 PM
really appreciate the offer mate,but sat i cant do due to family commitments.
Do you still have your loom?? Would you sell it?? im thinking something could be wrong with it somewhere,even though ive stripped the full lot and traced every cunting wire!!!!

Sloth
01-08-10, 10:36 PM
mate you can have it, im free sat and sun, ill bring all the loom and components

Andy

got power at ecu now and the coil,fuel pump still wont go though,and the ecu light still dont shine lol
Where does the coil plug go rob? left or right?
Also theres power going into the coil but no power at the leads or from the king lead itself.
It cant be much more now lol
Bridged the relay terminals and the pump went,so i reckon its the relay and coil goosed??

Sloth
02-08-10, 11:48 PM
change the coil mate. it doesnt matter what plug it goes on.

Sloth
02-08-10, 11:48 PM
oh and bridge the relay to get the pump to run.

Andy
03-08-10, 07:03 AM
what about the crank sensor? you dont reckon it could be that?

Sloth
03-08-10, 08:01 AM
possibly mate. they are that simple.

Andy
03-08-10, 10:39 AM

I will chuck some sterling your way also;)

Sloth
