Yellow I think is starter inhibitor

[Arno]

As far as your connectors goes..
 

 

Not 100% sure, but I suspect the leftmost one is the coolant level sensor connector for the underside of the expansion tank.

 

The second (wide) one is most likely the un-used connector on the car loom. The second lambda sensor originally plugs in an identical connector in the same area.

 

The right most one looks like a wheel sensor connector?

 

But it's always hard to guess from just connectors so I may be waaaayy off

 

Bye, Arno.

[vocky]

Seems like a old problem is back and I can not copy any links into this forum again and only this.

 

Trying to find out a littlebit more about the Electric system.

the 3 relays in the back Grey, Yellow and Brown, what are they?

 

And these connectors except for the big blue and black one, those I already know about.

 

 

 

BR, Per

 

yellow is the starter motor inhibiter relay

 

K18 - brown is for the injector and coilpack

 

K16 - grey is for the fuel pump

 

In your picture;

 

black plug on the left is X3

 

blue plug is X2

 

grey plug is boot alarm switch

 

4 pin flat black plug is for the post cat lambda sensor (with a Lotus vx220 engine loom, not the later spec vauxhall vx220 engine loom)

 

right hand 2 pin black plug is the coolant tank level sensor

Thanks, perfect to know the name of them too.

So I sketched a bit how we have done the wiring. Most seems logic but not all of it, I ask my self???

If anyone have time to go throught this and comment it, I´d be more than grateful.

Also I don´t find any wiring scheme for Start relay K24. Anyone have this?

Thanks Vocky.

Updated the wiring scheme a bit

[vocky]

this is a cleaned up version with a couple of alterations

 

[Aerodynamic]

Thanks Vocky, will look at it tomorrow. Br, Per

[Aerodynamic]

The idea was that we are using the current Speedster relays. Br, Per

[vocky]

like this ?

 

[vocky]

may be this 

 

[Aerodynamic]

Thanks Vocky. I Think I´ve made a misstake there are two Brown/pink Cables. Also I have fitted my new radiator and it seems like it´s leekeing around the hose Connection. It can be solved by tighten the clamps harder, but it feels like it´s unnecessary. It there any sticky greese or anything you can have to make this more safe? BR, Per

Are you fitting new hoses  too? If not then the rubber of the old hoses may simply started to get too hard to seal properly or the inside was damaged (eg. small pieces broken out or small cuts in the rubber) when the hoses were pulled from the old radiator.

 

On new (silicone or rubber) hoses I would not expect it to need very much tightening to seal. If they are new you may want to inspect the inside of the hose and the aluminium connection for irregularities (bumps, cuts, etc.) that could cause a leak.

 

Bye, Arno.

[Aerodynamic]

IT´s not leaking anymore but I am just about to order a set of new hooses. It doesn´t feel safe. I have really tighten the hoose clamps as much as I can and if they open just a Little it will start leak again. Thanks Arno. BR, Per

[Arno]

I replaced the original hoses on my car a few years back with silicone replacements. My car is from 2001 and I found that the rubber of the original hoses had deteriorated quite a bit and they were starting to crumble.

 

One had actually ballooned up quite a bit near the main coolant pipe connection to the back as the internal reinforcement inside the hose had broken.. That was a close call!

 

Used these on mine and they have been fine:

Bye, Arno.

[Aerodynamic]

I ordered a set of new hoses yesterdayrom elise shop, anooying extra expence but a small cost looking at the whole
Picture and thinking about the extra safety it gives me. Not much have happend with the car.

Asked some questions about the electric here got a lot of help (thanks) also done some rearch
and this have made me ordering lamda connector, 1 new knock sensor and 1 new IAT sensor.

So waiting for some parts to drop in.

Anyway, today these droped in. Not much but makes me feel very satisfied. :-)

Br, Per

[Aerodynamic]

I got theese today, really hope they will solve my leakage problem.
I will also remover my radiator and inspect it and fasten my fan in a better way.



BR, Per

[Aerodynamic]

No more leakage.

Anyway, can someone help me with this wiring scheme.
A lot of wires for 1 relay.

Whats the other signals in to the relay except starter button?
