              Got the engine in & all bolted up over the weekend  :clap:, only problem I have now is the wiring being different plugs  :?, plan is to just get the stop solenoid to work off the ignition but haven't got a clue about electronics, no fuel getting through  :evil: will fire up & run on easystart.

Any help will be appreciated


Thanks in advance

I took off the original wiring loom and fitted mine back on so the plugs all match up.

As for the ignitio. Try running a cable direct from the battery to stop solonoid. Thats how mine started. I now have a switch in the car to control the stop solonoid. Its great when you forget something in the house. Take the key out and the engine carries on running. saves on fuel! legal too though! passed 2 mots like it now. good security device as well.

By legal I assume you means it passes the MOT like that, but it is against the law to leave a parked car and not switch off the engine

Wish it was that simple, the new engine & pump has two pulgs on it with 3 wires to each plug so really confused now  :oops:

barmiebrumie:
The pump on the 'new' engine has 2 plugs both with 3 wires  , so decided to change fuel pumps over IE:- use the 'EDC' fuel pump, any advise as to changing pumps would be appreciated, how do I know for certain I have tdc ? etc etc

Thanks again

John
