20xe ecu removal

[Scottcooper85]

I'm due to rip the ecu and wiring from my 20xe and fit an ignition only ecu and new wiring. Am I right in thinking once removed the coil wires will still be live with the ignition on and are part of the Novas car loom? When I remove the coil and dizzy I was hoping to use its +12v feed for the coilpack? Cheers

Nova loom can be used yes

[Scottcooper85]

So the wires to the coil are nothing to do with the xe? That's one less wire to run then lol

[Andy]

The wire to the coil is a plug which is part of the xe loom.you have a black wire that used to go the original nova coil that you use as a switched live to the xe loom.

Ah I see, I'm stuck without the car here as I've nothing to look at when I'm figuring wiring out. Cheers mate

[Andy]

Still not done yet?!

I've told him end of January and I'm going with a trailer and will pay him accordingly lol

When you pull the XE loom out there'll be a switched live feeding the whole XE loom (as well as a perm live etc too)
