ok thanks mate :thumbs:

Just 1 other thing then:

On the loom (Engine Bay Side) there is a big thick black wire which we have connected to the +ve terminal on the battery. Further down the loom there was a small black wire with nothing on the end, it was cut very short and had nothing on the end. We worked out that this must be for the switched +ve current. Is this right?

We ended up connecting a new piece of wire to the small black one on the loom and taking this back along with the loom into the car and connected it up to a Swiched live.

Does this sound right to you :boggle:

What I posted is what I use when I do my valver conversions for mates.

Hope it helps

ps: not sure about the Black/Green

thanks for that lee.

could be coolant temp sensor causing the high idling. like an electronic choke apparently. should be on the side of your thermostat housing, the one with two wires.
try and give it a clean and check the connection, or they're about £18 from vaux.

Anyone know what the following are?

red/white?
black/brown?

dont touch the screw in the airflow meter unless its a last resort

its got the tamperproof plug there 4 a reason

airflow meter set to high or Idea Air Control Valve (should of cleaned it when engine was out)

Just got a couple a things to do before taking it out for a test spin...

Any ideas why it might idle at 1500rpm? possibly a leak in one of the air hoses?

woohoo finally got it running.... i had the wires connected right but we figured out that the switched live was missing. at the end of the loom was the remains of a black wire.. hooked this up and Chamone the engine started immediately :D:D

Was nice to hear the sound of the engine running after a week of bad weather and an assortment of problems.

blue is coolant temp. in the footwell there are nine wires that should match 9 of the wires in the on the astra loom the others will be in engine bay.

well yea some of them are..

but

red/white?
blue?

non for them!

when turning the ignition on the ECU(Engine Management) light doesn't come on so im presuming there should be a switched live somewhere for the ecu?

its colour for colour mate

what does what basically, fitting into a corsa gsi. wired up as i expected it to be and getting no fuel or spark. so can somebody confirm these for me plz!

this is from the 20xe loom

red/white?
blue?
blue/red? (poss fuel pump)
blue/red? (maybe also fuel pump?)
black/red? (maybe +ve)
black/brown?
brown/blue?
brown/white?
brown/yellow?
green? (tacho)
black/green?
