The plug identification game

[Benjibrady]

If any of you B18fters' can work out what these unknown plugs do you can have 1000 man points!!!!

Have looked around the engine for a good hour and cant find anywhere where the plug in????





The one with the green and grey wire if its hard to make out





& these three by the ECU plug??

Thanks all

[Nottswoody]

Are you tapping into the c1j loom? The bottom three I'm not using for anything so forget then ..

[Benjibrady]

yeah i will be, when you say bottom three, do you mean bottom three pictures, or the three connectors in picture 4

[Nottswoody]

Personally I would do everything else then the wires.. Get everything else plummbed in and ready then feed the wires through it all..

Hi Benji, if you weren't all the way down there in Bath you could have a look at my 480...........anyway some guesses from me:

plug for.....

#1 - oil level/pressure or maybe idle control valve
#2 - coolant temperature sensor
#3 - knock sensor??
#4 - see link below.....

I'm not 100% about all of the above, just having a go from memory as nowhere near my car at the moment. When I am back from work I can have a look if you're still stuck.

Cheers

There's a wiring diagram in the b18ft boards but the second pic is the ecu temp sensor goes on the head. And the rest are test points.

Wicked Schwartz thanks mate. I do have the wiring diagrams in the back of the Haynes
Manual but I didn't want to have to split the loom up to find out which wire goes were

[SCHWARTZ]

Thanks everyone for the help, will get cracking again tomorrow

1, yellow -oil level and oil temp (Volvo gauges), black ones - test points.
2, brown - coil earth, green/grey - electronic boost control.
3, power to aux waterpump.
4, ecu test points

All are not required for conversion, but get it running before you chop them out if you plan too.
