lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 I'm in the middle of putting my engine back together in the car. There are a few plugs that i can't remember for the life of me where they went. This comes out on the left hand side of the car (as or standing in front) by the airbox. This plug hangs down in the middle just behind the radiator. This plug/bracket comes off of one of the HT leads The wire from this plug goes back to the bulkhead near the coil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 This bracket/earth type thingy has a strap coming from the coil Any help with where all these things go would be much appreciated Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted October 23, 2009 the wire on the HT lead isn't needed for a 1.8 KR it's from a 2.016v ignition system blue and white lead is for a variable pressure gauge not fitted as standard (VDO centre console type pressure gauge ) 1st pic is the rad fan run on switch, stop fuel pipes getting too hot when engine is switched off, should run the fan if you earth the wire to the block Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks mate The blue and white wire in the 2nd pic? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Bit confused with these aswell. The 3 metal pipes coming from the airbox. Im sure at lest one of these goes on the end of the inlet manifold with the bolt with the hole though it. Is the one I have bolted on right and where do the other two go to? I have have another bolt with a hole in and its a larger size. I did take pictures before it came apart but I seemed to have missed these bit out :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have have another bolt with a hole in and its a larger size. I did take pictures before it came apart but I seemed to have missed these bit out :( one metal pipe goes to the cold start injector both of the other two, go to the warm up regulator the white-blue wire in the 2nd pic might not be used. I think it is for oil press gauge which you might not have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted October 23, 2009 and the thingy in the first pic looks to me more like some broken sender or something, because it has a connector on one side.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks arnau I found where they go now. Any ideas where the screw in thing with the brown wire coming from it by the airbox goes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 ok i'll leave that off then and see if I can find with its goes later. Thanks for the help guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks arnau I found where they go now. Any ideas where the screw in thing with the brown wire coming from it by the airbox goes? if you can post a pic of where it comes from, I will try and go to my car later on and tell you where it is plugged in :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Thanks arnau I found where they go now. Any ideas where the screw in thing with the brown wire coming from it by the airbox goes? that's the fan run on switch I mentioned Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted October 23, 2009 that's what I was going to say, but I kept myself in silence just in case :lol: I think this wire is disconnected in my car because I don't have the sender (but the after run on fan, works correctly :shrug: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 So the thing coming out by the airbox is the fan switch? Where should it be going to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Im also having trouble getting the cam belt tight. I have it round all the pulley's like it should with the tensioner in but it doesn't seem to want to go back how it was. Any tips for doing this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Well I managed to put it back together to the best of my knowledge (and alot of help from here). IT RAN! But like a bag of crap :lol: Could this just be the timing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted October 23, 2009 I think that timing should have been one of the first things to check :) it might be a leaky air pipe too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 I have no clue how to do the timing. Think I need to find someone with a lot more knowledge than me. My be time to ring the professionals haha Thanks though guys you've been a massive help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted October 23, 2009 I would take to a garage to get CO & timing set correctly. it won't cost you much I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Don't think I could drive it how it is. Probs have to get someone to come out and have a look i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krnau 0 Posted October 23, 2009 or maybe call rac? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lockdown 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Im going to have a play with the dizzy in the morning to see if I can get it running a bit better. My mates dropped off a timing gun, so i'll have to learn how to use that tomorrow. All else fails i'll ring a pro :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
