TDC loom

[Matteh]

when pulling my engine loom out, i accidentally pulled off the new bit of loom you can buy for the updated TDC sensor (172)

I've got 2 wires on the original loom - orange and white and the loom for the TDC sensor has A (cream) and B (pink)


can anyone tell me which way they're meant to go , or doesnt it matter

 

[Matteh]

fook, wrong section, could a mod move to Engine/Gearbox/running gear please?

pink to pink

 

[Matteh]

orange to pink?

white to cream..

 

[Alastair.]

just look on ur old 2 pin connector look at what colour A is then look at what colour A is on ur new plug then solder the wire together

I threw that away ages ago

didn't anticipate ripping it off

Our engine is out and on the floor at the moment, if you don't have an answer by tomorrow afternoon I'll go check for you

I don't *think* it matters as its just a hall effect device so it just creates a pulse. Although don't quote me on that.

Creates an ac voltage, might not matter which way they go. Not 100% sure tho

Get it wrong and the car won't start. Just swap it around if it doesn't start. Just don't solder it yet.

^^ thats a good idea tbh.

It does matter, it will run the wrong way round but will be a b**ch to start like Longy says... Wont hurt to try it either way tho and its a 50/50 chance

Was just going on the theory that its an A/C signal

 

[Matteh]

I've not got an engine to test it on

would like to have my loom complete so that I can attach it to the engine before dropping the engine in, makes things a bit easier

It does matter as said, i rmemember a lad i used to work with getting it wrong, he was colour blind!!!

Ours is wired, Orange to pink, Beige to white and worked fine before we whipped it out.
