Next item to get wired in was the little MAP sensor we fitted earlier.....
a wee hole drilled in the plastic......
a little bit of wire, heatshrink and the correct 2 pin junior
timer plug attached........
pop the cable back through the hole in the plastic with the
aid of a rubber grommet to ensure she doesn't start to chaff
down the line..........
which allows us to move onto the next item, the C101 plug........
This is the connector located on the engine bulkhead where the
engine loom and body loom connect to each other. There's
various wires in the standard engine loom that aren't actually
needed to run the engine, such as the wiring from temperature
gauge on the dash to the sender on the engine, the feed from the
alternator warning light down to the alternator, the trip wire from
the ignition switch to bring the starter to life and a few more.
As such these wires don't need to head back to the engine ecu,
instead they split off from the engine loom up at the bulkhead and
and are wired into the engine loom side of the C101 plug.
And when the loom is installed for the final time this half of the
plug will be screwed into the Body loom side of the C101 plug to
carry the little wires on the rest of their journey..........
If you find yourself rewiring a C101 plug and are wondering what
the various part numbers for the different pins and stuff required are,
then this lad fairly nailed it in his helpful guide.........
With all the wires snuggly wrapped in there final resting place the loom
is roughly refitted into the engine bay and the the ecu's wires are fed
through their hole in the firewall.........
before each items wires (ecu, lambda controller, lambda & oil pressure
gauges) are dummy run and loosely secured so we can trim wires to their
final length and segregate them to individual bunches.....
once thats done the loom can come out for it's final time (thank fuck)
to have it's connector plugs attached.......
