terribleturner Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Have wired up my pack as per the instructions here (which are echoed on various other forums) but the car just turns over and doesn't fire. I spoke with the person i bought it off and have been told there is another way to wire it in but i think im being blind and can't find it for love nor money. So can anyone shed any light or point me in the right direction please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 No one?? Come on, someone must have an opinun or thought on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 there should be 7 wires... one to each injector, and one common which goes to the ecu. when you look in the loom, "I think" there are several bunches of wires which come from the ECU, connect them together to the one common wire on the resistor pack. what resistor pack is it? a toyota one?

Supra ST Myster Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 James I cant see how there can be more than i way to wire a resistor pack! Its as heckler says, the resistor pack should have 7 wires, 1 common and then the other 6 for the injectors, that pack that you showed me is very strange and cant see how it can work right as its using 1x6ohm resistor to feed 2 injectors,(plus the resistance was quite high, not 6ohms as it should) which cant work as that means they will be shorting together, needs to be 1x6ohm resistor for each injector! i should be able to supply you one this weekend, if not i can post it to turbo ft for you.

You've just echoed exactly what i said to James earlier. I really cant see how its going to work. If it does eventually work, i cant see it being very efficient or having much longevity.

terribleturner Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well as both you Emin and Jezzy know, i've wired in a couple of different ones know so am familiar with the "Regular Way", but the TRADER who sold it to me (who makes them himself) tells me there's another way of doing it but doesn't know how it's done. There's a picture below, but the pack has one red in and 3 yellow and 3 brown out. When you open the box up it has the red spliting into 3 resistors and then out of each resistor is a Brown and Yellow wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 I would have thought that too, specially as they have the unit on their car too. But it seems not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 If the trader makes them surely he knows how to fit them ? You would think so! James, have you tried other (oem?) resistor packs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Trader isn't local so not an option unfortunalty. I may have a OEM one tomorrow to try out, if not i will try out one of Emin's ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 James, I have the same resistor pack and wired mine as follows: Locate blk/org wires in wiring loom as it exits the bulk head, I found 9 or 12 wires. 6 of these wires go direct to the injectors and it's these 6 wires out of 12 you need to find. Here's how I did it. I cut one BLK/ORG wire at a time at the bulk head side and carried out a continuity test to see which wire was linked to which injector (I managed to cut 1 wire which wasn't linked, so I resoldered it back). Once I had found all 6wires, I connected x3 BRN wires from resistor pack to the first 3 injectors and x3 YEL wires to the next 3. I was then left with x6 BLK/ORG wires which go back into the bulkhead, these 6 wires need to be soldered together and connected to the red wire from the resistor pack. I am not 100% certain that this is the correct way to wire up this resistor pack as the same trader cannot verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Cheers Ibrar, that's the same way i did my one but it just turns over and doesn't catch Maybe it's a fualty unit. I'll see if i can test another OEM pack tomorrow and see whaat happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hi m8...I found that mine would only work using 6 Resistors.....get them from RadioSpares...cost you less than £10.... give me a call Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I keep the correct resistors in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Quick update. Put in place a OEM pack and the car worked fine sstraight away. I have also double checked the wiring of the "new" pack and it seems there ISN'T any other way of doing it. So my conclusion is that the pack itself is faulty.

terribleturner Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 good news James, im glad you've found the culprit after all this time There was another that we found which caused the car to not start. Turns out i had clamped the crankshaft sensor lead between the block and the alternaator when putting it all baack To Abs though to come along and put the rest back to show it would work. I must have got so confused going over and over the same thing i'd got blinded. where did you get the resisstor pack from? Ah, well it's one i am putting on someone elses caar next week so borrowed it for testing purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terribleturner Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 so i was right, i said the crank sensor from the beginning:D It was odd though as it still gave resistance etc.... when measured, but of course explains why the rest of the block had different resistance to other cars On the up side i now know the loom like the back of my hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
