Hi all,

 

Im having alot of trouble trying to work out where and how the loom fits?

 

The crap diagram in the workshop manual is as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike.

 

The only plugs marked up seem to be coil pack 2,4 & 6.

 

4 & 6 seem way to short and wont extend long enough to go under the plenum cover to the coil packs. All of the other plugs are not marked up! And it seems that some of the plugs are the same to fit other fittings so telling them apart isnt easy.

 

Can anyone help here with pics or any knowedge as im ready to bash my head on a wall.:headvswal

 

Cheers Dan

Hi Bud,

 

If it's a standard loom, it will not be long enough to go anywhere apart from over the top of the plenum and down the centre of the valley. In order to do mine I had to solder new connectors on with 5 inch extensions.

 

apart from that I can't help mate!!

Hi mate.

 

For now im going to leave the wire tuck and just fit it the normal way but even that looks impossible :(

is it a standard cable? if so you should just, have enough to get the plugs to there relative fittings. so plugging it in the correct place shouldn't be a problem. do you have it snagged on anything? it is short but should JUST about reach.

Hi none of the loom is snagged.. It fits in places perfect along the front connecting to the water temp sensors, PTU, CAS & Throttle position sensor. Ive then ran it tight to the plenum to where the loom splits off into 3 different looms. The shorter loom that dont reach has 4 & 6 written on the connector which im guessing is the coil packs and they are way to short...I think the other plugs on that part of the loom then connect to the idle control that are in the perfect position.

 

The other longer looms seem to make up the rest needed for the coil packs and injectors. Part of the longer loom i guess also reaches over to the otherside to connect to the solenoids and VTC. None of the plugs are marked up so i havent a clue really :(

I have my MOT next week on thursday, if it passes and i get my car taxed, ill pop down in the zed so you can compare if you havent sorted by then. i take it you do not have the balance bar on the plenum while trying to fit it? as the cables go under that.

Yellow connector goes on top of idle control! Then I think it's a blue one that goes on the ficv ( hexagon snapped next to idle control) then u should be left with the o2 sensor & det sensor also the cam sensors now the cam ones will fit the 02 so check the amount of wires in the connectors I think this will determine to what u connect them too! Then lay the loom across the plenum & they should almost fall in place !

Thanks mate ill let you know how i get on i will hopefully have it sorted by then. I just noticed in other pics on Google that the loom for coil pack 6 runs over the plenum and not though the middle under the cover like the rest.

 

YTS cheers for the info ill have a look in a bit

Wahoo i think ive solved the problems.. Ill try fitting them 2morrow

grats bud :D keep us updated. PS, is your car AH3?
