try another coil on the car with ignition module ive had 1 of these go faulty

And remember, dont even bother with the fuel relay side of it until you have got a engine management light glowing.

I had this on tims C20XE conversion. Turns out that the person who did it before me did the following :

1. Used the wrong type of ignition live to power the ECU (The one that turns off while cranking)

2. Used the fuel pump trigger wire to power the ECU light so the light came on when you tried to crank the car.

3. Used the ECU light wire to trigger the fuel pump relay so it wouldnt start.

as far as i can remember the brown/blue wire is for the ecu light on dash,the black wire is 12v power for the ecu(so needs connect to positive on battery)so if it aint connected would explain why your ecu light is out(cos your ecu aint getting any power)

just a thought

try calling or u2u'ing lee mitchell somtime, he talked me through my wiring and the EM light came on after that :)

I would tell you what he told me to do, but, like i said, its a different wiring loom

Is there any wire from the fuel relay itself that needs to be cut and connected somewhere?

i was told the red doesn't have to be connected but makes no difference if it is...

no i put the spare black wire from inside the car to the wire your taking about...

along with the red spare from inside to the battery +

did you take the black wire from the engine bay side of the loom and put it to a switched live? will have a plug on the end that looks like a lamda sensor plug.

ill have a look in my haynes for cavalier to find out about the power, otherwise it will have too be a new ecu, too see if that works!

get hold of another ECU?

id check the ecu for its pwer and swithc power and earth to see if its getting them cant rememmber what pins on the ecu plug it is but it should say in the haynes for the astra

yup checked the bulb!

checked the bulb?

not too my knowledge, even if there was it wouldn't matter, as im only concerned as too why the ecu light doesnt come on with the ignition :)

are there fuel cut off switches on corsa's, i dont know if there is just an idea :lol:

All of your earths in place... i've forgotten these, twice :lol:

This stage is very annoying as i well know! The wiring is slightly different to that on mine as you are using a different wiring loom. Have you pressed the valve on the fuel rail to see if you've definately got no fuel getting up?

Changed fuel relay checked all my connections and grounds any everything is connected where it should be and all grounds are connected.

But still get no ECU light when i turn on the ignition, and can't here the fuel pump, when i turn ignition over.

Here's a pic of the footwell wiring i've done...



I cut off the connecter from the 8v loom so i could join it too the xe loom and connect it too the in car connecter.

Wires connected in that pic are...

Brown/Yellow
Green
Blue/Red Thin
Blue/Red Thick
Brown/Blue
Brown/White

Wires left from the xe loom, the wires on the left in that pic connected too the connecter from the old corsa engine loom...

Green/Black
Blue/Black
Brown/Black

The wires i have left over on the connecter i cut from the old corsa engine loom...

Thick Blue
Thick Red (Taken this too the battery positive)
Black (Taken this too the black single pin connecter by the coil pack)

That is the wiring i have done!

As i said i've also changed my fuel pump relay too.

Sorry too be a pest but i've totaly ran out of ideas, cheers.
