jusr wondering if this looked right to anyone, it came up as all clear when i first reset it, then came back after a drive and checked again and the dreaded 34 was back!

 

would like to see some pictures of where to stick it in the ecu if anyone has any

You have it in the wrong plug. Dat only has 2 pins the 2nd pic the lead in your hand.

Jeff from zedworld said it was black and white so that was the only one i could find, **** no's what that one does then cos it was unplugged while i was driving it n everything seemed ok, i'll see if i can find one with 2 pins.

yeah, the one in ya hand me thinks too, the loom to the dett. sensor is thicker with tape or summet round cos it has a braided wire loop for sheilding...

both the plugs are atached by a single cable somhow, but do you mean the one with the red bit on?

Ok matey maybe I was not too clear whan I explained, as you can see in your two pics I have used you have the resister in the wrong plug, also the one next to it is not the correct one, however it does looks exactly like the one you are after so this can add to the confusion

 

 

 

Again using your photo I have added arrows to where you should be looking for the correct two pin plug with the black and white cable, the white cable I add will be very dirty looking and not bright white at all

 

 

 

However I have spotted something that might point to why you cannot find the correct plug, there are a series of connections that are non standard in the second pic, these suggests the loom has been repaired or new injector or coil patch leads added, it is just as likely the det sensor plug has been removed and the cable connected directly.

 

You need to check in the area in the centre back of the engine, in fact the det sensor connector originally fitted on a metal bracket pointing upwards.

 

If you just cannot find the correct plug or cable then the same resister work around can be done at the ecu in the passenger footwell.

yeah as jeff said it aint no good in that connection, have a look through this clip to get an idea where abouts it is, once you find its its pretty straight forward.

hope it helps.

Indeed some new coil packs have been installed, so that would make sense, it seeemed that those 3 plugs were the only ones i could find. however i'll have a look again, and try and get a little deeper. i couldn't find the temp sensor plug either, could you please show me where abouts it should be.

you were pefectly clear on the phone, i just slept since, so it all went a bit foggy.

I don't supose you could post a photo of where to install it in the ecu, i've bin told it should be between ports 23 and 50, but i can't seem to find any number references.

 

Thanks.

I've found the corect plug i think

It was buried under the red bar/pipe. the female side had a nick in the cable which then broke when i pulled it out

As my luck would have it, the brake (in the black cable, the photo mite not show to clearly) is to close to the plug itself to fit a crimp on, so a temporary bodge will have to do for now, but i will rectify it when i'm back at work. Is there a way i can test the knock sensor from the male plug? what reading should it be if i stick an ohm meter on it?

I would presume it should be 1 meg ohm if i megger it, however just want to check because i don't want to megger it and then end up breaking something else.

 

Also here is a picture of my ecu, if this temporary bodge doesn't work, i'd like to try and short it out at the ecu, but don't know where to start looking.

Steve.

bodge worked, code 55 A OK, still cool after 100 miles. fuel economy is loads better n just generally runs nicer.
