Just so you dont say it - yes i have looked in tutorials but cant find the answer i am looking for
i have wired up as much of the xe loom as i possibly can but i am left with two wires coming from the corsa part of the loom one is red and one is black
i also have four wires coming from the xe loom from the plugs
all i have done is swapped the looms over as my loom was knackered but i now have spare wires.
Any one got any ideas what i should be doing with these, i think the four which are still connected to the plugs are to be left as they are but the two coming from the corsa loom are causing confusion

From the Corsa past of the loom, The red one should be a constant live and the black one should be an ignition live.
What colour is the 4 wires you have left from the XE loom?

first off have you got the corsa loom on the back of the engine where the alternator etc is? and the xe loom from the engine to the ECU?
The black wire needs to be connected to the positive live as for the red im not 100% sure. i'll have a think

not sure about the alternator bit but engine loom is for xe
so that thin black wire goes to the thin black wire which goes directly into the ecu

on the back of the engine you should have the wiring that came off the corsa's original engine swapped over onto it.
the black wire should come out near the battery on your car.im a little confused as to the wire, maybe u2u beardy

so this little thin wire is that long bugger that goes right across the engine bay to the battery

Black/blue and black/green are aircon in the xe loom and arent used, red/white is auto transmission and isnt used. One of the brown/yellows is TC and isnt used.
The brown/yellow from pin 13 is the wire to the diagnostic plug and is connected to the brown/yellow on the corsa 9 pin plug.
The rest of the colours match up
Red - perm live
black- ign live
blue (black cover) - coolant temp
brown/blue - engine management light
green - revcounter
red/blue - fuel pump relay main feed
brown/white - diagnositc plug

yep, as above^^^^
as for the wires by the alternator never had to do that when doing a conversion.
if its a dizzy engine then you also need to connect the black wire from the coil to a switched live. (has a plug on the end that looks like a lambda sensor plug) you will find it in the loom that goes to the coil

the red one dont need to be connected as theres a red on the 2littre loom that goes straight to the battery. the black one needs to run just buy the dispac on the 2 litre loom as its an ignition live. the black/blue, red/white and black green are not used. the brown/yellow will join the brown yellow on the corsa loom
