MAT1800 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 what car are you fitting it to ? (what ECU etc..) Quote
Gavin Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Hi Matt my car is a 1999 factory build with a Ford ECU, but I have an MBE ECU that I am also fitting that I purchased from Westfield at the same time. Double checked and triple cheked and the only connection from loom to ECU loom is that 12 pin oval shped plug Quote
Gavin Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Have a look in the picture of my car to the left and you can see where the ECU was mounted, a totally different place to where it is in the instructions we were given. Quote
MAT1800 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 I wouln't worry about the position of the ECU just now, So your MBE ecu has a 12pin and your loom only has a 4 pin? Quote
Gavin Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 NO the other way around, my main loom has 12 pins and the new loom has 4 pins. Quote
MAT1800 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 Mine kit had a 12 pin very long plug into the ECU and another to join to the existin gloom, which could have been a four pin. Have you got the new to existing loom plug sorted? Quote
Gavin Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 The loom they supplied plugs into the new ecu fine, it's just I can't connect the new loom to my original loom that is in the car. Quote
MAT1800 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 I'm nipping out to the garage to get my instructions..... Quote
MAT1800 Posted January 21, 2006 Author Posted January 21, 2006 Brrr.... Right, just had a look through the instructions again.... and I'm stumped, you should have a 4 pin plug from your chasis loom to your new loom. So I presume the part of the loom you removed must have had a 12pin connection also.... Anything unusall about you car? I can't see why you would have a 12pin ? ? Quote
Gavin Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Your right it is bl**** cold out there !! Just been out to take picture of the plugs so you can see the difference.I will try and upload it. Quote
Gavin Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Can't remember how to do that !! Pm me your email address if you like and I can mail it to you. Thanks, Gav. Quote
Flappa Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Is this sorted now? IIRC there are two plugs for the madness engine. One is a square 12 pin that plugged into the ford injection loom, the other a 4 pin which was the power to the ECU and the feed to the fuel pump I think (not 100%). What have you got Gavin send me a copy of the pics if you can, and I'll take a look. I would say though that the kit was intended to upgrade madness kits, and I would doubt that yours is so there could well be a difference. I know that you needed the MBE ECU. Perhaps you just need a change of plug.... Quote
MAT1800 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Posted January 22, 2006 Gavin, Flappa. I've looked at the photo and you're right I can see two plugs one 4 pin the other 12 pin.. Unfortunately it doesn't help me much to answer why?? I'm just stuffing my face then I'll be out in the garage with mine, I'll have a look and a think then and post back if anything obvious comes to mind. Mat. Quote
