aha ;)

on t'other end? probably the ecu ;) :)

Well whats it connected too at the other end?
Does it just go to earth cant make it out from the picture.

Its for the fuel computer loom

yea we realised that... but what is this green wire for? it must be off something.

The take off for the rev couter pulse is in the plug pluged into the amp under the coil

hmmm... something very weird to add to this post!!

As i said before.. even without the green wire attached to the dizzy my rev counter worked fine.

Out of interest i connected the green wire to the dizzy and tried to start the engine but it wasn't even sparking!!!

took the green wire off again and started no probs.

So i ask again.. whats this green wire? and is it perhaps related to my other post "ecu resetting" ??

sure hope someone can help to shed some light on this..

Cheers

For the rev counter to work you can join the other end of that green wire from the little square plug by the XE ecu to the green wire at the back of the corsa dash.

That way it keeps it all tidy, Same for the temperature sender wire, the ecu light wire and the wire that needs to be earthed to flash the codes out if there is a problem

yea thats what i meant colin.. that geeen wire at the end of the loom is not connected to anything and my rev counter was still working fine.

someone on msn also thought it was for rev counter and i told him the above. he said:

JJ says:
it shows u have good earths on the body
JJ says:
my mate whos an auto sparky said u dont need to connect it

if that makes sense to anyone.. lol

You dont need it to be connected for the car to run.

nope.. its definately not the rev counter wire cus i had the engine running today!

My mate reckons it might be for the knock sensor... but he's unsure if my engine should have one but there does seem to be a place in the back of the engine for one.

Engine was out of a G Ref Calibra.. does anyone know if the 20xe engine in these had a knock sensor?

Yes thats the rev counter wire.

Either join it to your corsa loom in the engine bay or join it fron the little plug by the ecu to the dash in the car

Mine aint connected either I dont think, I could check but its fecking cold out!There are a few plugs knocking about that dont do much!

will remember that for when I get round to fittin the c20 in my corsa!

was readin up on the gearbox post a while ago, hmmmm is it trouble??? fouling of steering column n such...

thats not rev counter wire and lambda had 4 wires on c20
fook nos what its for ive got it on mine and it aint connected

weird one! most lambda sensors i seen (including one on my old engine) only had the one wire going to it & was just a single pin connector like the one pictured above! :lol:

bloody 2ltrs :P

PaulW, ur thinking of the lamda sensor! theres already a 3 pin socket from that plugged into the loom ;)

Cheers Kris, so im guessing this connects to the coil then :)

nope it only has the one

surely the lambda sensor would have 2 wires?

thought that went to oxygen sensor on the exhaust???

its for the rev counter i believe yes.

Everything engine (20xe) side of the loom is connected up apart from this one green wire at the end:




Does anyone know what it is? Is it for the rev counter?

Then it will just be connecting up the wires tomorrow inside the car :)

cheers!
