thats the thing the cars been converted for ages not bnd ithe plug on the xe loom has been cut off at some time and wired but they were shocingly wired so it stripped them all back now it wont work so i dont think its the car side of the wiring buddy

quick way to tell if it is that is live the wire to the + battery terminal and see if it starts

not too sure where exactly it goes on a nova either black wire going to fuse box or wiper motor wire ( should imagine its the live) ive only read about novas and onlydone corsas but at somepoint in the conversion the ign live needs to be run from near coil back towards car so if you havnt done that its probably something to do with that

so the black isolated wire thats coming off the coil wire that to the window wiper live?

yes but you have to run the black ignition live which is near coil when in calibras and cavs and wire it back into car or on nova you can connect it to the wiper motor or something,

its all fine the car side its jsut going to the plug side...what does the isolation do ?...because when i join it to the plug i don tknow were to wrap / connect the isolation to becuase when it touches the wire that its isolating it cuts the car out

the black isolated wire is normally ignition live and runs into car? unless youve already connected that up

haynes ?

nah the plug for hall sensor is on the dizzy this is the one that plugs into the coil and 2 wires come off where it plugs in and go to the coil fella...easting away at me knowing what is wrong jsut not the correct wiring or how to fix it lol

is it the plug that goes into the hall sensor bud

basicly c20xe in a nova but the 4 wires that go to the coil i'm having problems with

its like the wires have been cut to fit a new plug
and fits as follows


black car (with wire wrapped round the wire) - black red (plug side)
black yellow--------------------------------------------black (plugside
twin wires black white-------------------------------green (plug side)
brown (car side)---------------------------------------brown (plugside)


main problem is is car wont start but if you wiggle the wire with the insolated wire round it it will start but fires on 3 cylinders and if you touch the wire with the wire thats wrapped round it it dies ?

i'm guessing the conector is off an diffrent loom

here on the left is the black wire with the insoluating that is getting me as what it connects to ethier doent have insulating or ive ripped it of by accident lol
