Hi all,

It's finallytime to drop the engine in this weekend! So excited.

Before I connect the loom up to the ECU I'd really like to do one final check of the wiring. So, does anyone have a definitive guide, diagram, pin out checks etc for me to make sure I've got it right?

Thanks

Charlie

Hi all, Bennie, I think I'm talking to you only now :) but if anyone else has any useful tips, I'm all ears. I think I've found the cause of the confusion regarding the D12 thing. Depending on which FSM you have, will dictate what is called B & what is called D. They change! How stupid. I've created...

Hi Bennie, Firstly, thanks so much for taking the time to help out. I've spent most of the day on it, and I'm pretty worried now. I believe the weird voltages may be down to a short to the chassis somewhere, and nothing to do with my wiring, but I'm concerned it may have put power where it wasn't wa...

Hi Bennie, Maybe I didn't explain the situation very well. When I disconnect the connector (B56/C) from the ECU and have the ignition switch set to ON, pin C10 (also known as B56 pin 10) has 12v at the pin on the ECU side. In other words 12v coming out of the ECU on that pin. I thought the whole poi...

No problem Bennie, Thanks for the response now. Since posting that, I figured out the ignition switch issue, and beeped it all out with the multimeter. I was happy with everything, so took the plunge and plugged in the ECU. The only concerning thing I found was on the pin on the ECU that is meant to...

Hi guys,

Hope you're all good over there.

So, I'm still waiting for my adapter plate and a few other bits arrive, but I've completed wiring, and have one question:

Should my ign on voltage (acc and on positions) drop to 0 volts when you move the switch to the crank position?

Cheers

Seems like deserving tithe to me. Very helpful write up, and not one I'd found before, despite countless hours of research. One question that I didn't see the answer to. Did you run a new main power from the battery to ignition relay or tap into the power going to the ignition switch? I was planning...

Thanks Bennie, I guess it's been a while since I looked under the rear of it! I was thinking of anywhere near the current pump where I can protect it. I'm pretty close to putting the EJ loom into the car. Would you mind sanity checking my plan in terms of what I'm connecting to where, splicing in et...

Thanks Bennie, I hadn't thought of the choke cable hole. Genius! Regarding the surge tank. I had considered the fire hazard, but thought that tucked away at the back of the spare wheel well might be ok being a fair distance from any possible engine contact in the event of an accident. I hadn't consi...

Thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated. As you said, both Pro Spares and Subarino have been super helpful, and I'm hoping the adapter plate will be on its way to me next week. Just in time, as I've pretty much finished the EJ loom, and I'm ready to drop it into the L series. On that note, I h...

Hey guys, Firstly, I hope you're all staying safe and well in these strange times, and that we can all get back to normal soon. Secondly, what a great bunch! I've had an 86 Leone/L series for about 4 years now, and have been using your forum for info on various things over the years. Most recently i...
