hope everything is alright with your folks .have been following your thread since it started and have enjoyed it .with regards to learning about tuning , the HP tuners forum has all kinds of threads on setting up the different charts that run a modern computer controlled engine .it is a lot of free info , no matter what system you are using .

I am back taking care of my Mom since he had some pains tonight and went back in the hospital and not sure if he will be back tonight

not much going on just working and taking care of My Mom and waiting for Dad to get well enough to come home from the hospital

I should be back working on the harness this weekend as my Dad is back home but weak so we need to give him some help and i need to work on my 86 SE that i am driving but then back on this harness i figure a few days worth of work left on it

ok I am a bit confused as i have the Audi wiring schematics but i dont see where it is telling me what is a ground, signal or what if one of you can sheed a light this is the link http://www.corradov8.com/pi...204.2V8%20Wiring.pdf

Hints:

"Earth" = Ground (-)
"Positive (+)" = Positive (+) supply voltage ... careful, may be +12 volts or +5 volts

Really, it's not. The schematic is showing where the different wire colors are going. For example, on the first page:

Injector 1 (N30) pin 1 white wire (ws) ties to E25 (Connection (87a, right inlet valve), in Motronic wiring harness)
Pin 2 black/pink (sw/ro) ties to J220 (Motec control unit) pin E1.

yes it shows where they go on the ecu but what i need to know is on the throttle postion sensor what one is ground and wht 1 is signal and what 1 is the 5v referance as far as i can see it only shows what wires go to the tps but not what each one is but this could be i just dont understand it

I see your dilemma...

It looks like the wiper is pin 3. The rest would be a best guess for me...
blk/wht appears to be the positive line.
blk/brn appears to be the ground side.

But, that's just a logical guess...

Any chance to power it and see which is the reference signal?

Bob

It is a track style wiring diagram. Do a google search on how to read track style wiring diagrams and you'll find it much easier. In short, all wiring colors are the same for all models in the same genre for their specific circuits. All grounds are brown and not black. You are missing a lot of needed info. When I wired up my VR6 and TDI Fieros, I had to get the power and ground charts, powertrain management, auto trans, and starting and charging to find all the needed wiring. Audi/VW normally doesn't have a pcm pinout chart.
Once you become familiar with this style, you will find them very easy to read and understand.

Wow i final did a bit of work on the ignition i got all the coils paired up for wated spark 1&6 5&3 4&7 8&2 now i just need to solder them to spark out put's A,B,C&D

[This message has been edited by engine man (edited 10-15-2013).]

i got a chance today to do some more work on the harness so i did some splicing soldering of the igition out put now the coils should be set i allso did the MAT sensor i hope i dont get called in tomorrow on my day off so i can do more

not to much left to solder what needs doing is Crank Postion Sensor,Temp Sensor,Knock Sensor & Idle Valve

well if it is a decent day tomorow i will install the harness and finsh the soldering and maybe by the weekend i can start the engine

Your thread looked lonely, I'm still following!

My turbo build

went out and put the harness in the car today and hooked some of it up and did some untangling

Me too!

Harness is in the car now but it needs neatend up and i need to get a GM oil sender for it i allso need to do a second o2 for it and get the knock sensor parts

I have a ? do you think the O2 would work in the center of a H pipe

quote Originally posted by engine man: I have a ? do you think the O2 would work in the center of a H pipe

The O2 needs to be close to the engine so it gets hot enough and needs to have enough exhaust flow past it to read accurately. You'd be better off putting it in the manifold.

quote Originally posted by engine man: ... do you think the O2 would work in the center of a H pipe

No. It needs to be as close to the exhaust manifolds as possible.

my other thought is to use this crossover pipe this would make it so i only need 1 O2 and it will be close enough to the manifolds pluse i will be using a heated O2

Dam it has turned cold out i had plenty of time but the funds are slow well i will have to wait for spring to get working on it agian

a few pic's 1 of the Porsche shifter the other of the wiring that needs to be neatened up

Winter is already to long for me this sucks

Hang in there Engine Man! You've come too far to let a little cold weather get you down! I keep watching your thread eagerly waiting for the video clip of the engine firing up for the first time.... I'm sure it will be glorious!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr dam it now the 2000 Grand Am i am driving the ignition key wont turn in . Thanks for the support i need it now more than ever

Those F'ing things... I have an 03 and the ignition switches are pure crap. Your key won't even turn though?

well just sitting and watching it snow out thinking well i only have about 3 more months before i can start working on the car again and i should be able to have enough money to finish her up this spring so i can drive it and have some fun

[This message has been edited by engine man (edited 12-29-2013).]

just got my W2 for taxes now i just need to do my taxes so i can take my return money and finish this install

[This message has been edited by engine man (edited 01-14-2014).]

i cant wait to get started back on the car just waiting for my tax return but th IRS doesnt even start accepting them before Jan 31

I bought a few things for the car

i also got nufflers but the pic is to big fo the image poster

Looks like i need to do some shovling to get the car out after a foot and a half of snow last night and another half a foot expected for tomorrow

There are times when it's best to just stay inside.

Joe
