M20 wiring on 3.5

[ammar786]

Hi guys just wanted to know if you can use the the standard wiring when doin the 3.5 conversion

I have put the engine in and I have modified the wiring to fit the engine and it is all connected up but for some reason it won't even crank

Anyone know what the problem could be

Thanks

Are you using the m30 engine loom?

[ammar786]

No the standard m20 loom

I had a similar problem, it was an immobliser on the m20 loom that i didnt know about

[ammar786]

Yea mate all the wire are connected and there is no immobiliser as far as I can see

Still don't know what it is it's really frustrating

[ammar786]

I get ignition lights
And I haven't tries to bridge a
Out any wires do you know what colour they are and I'll have a look tomorrow

Cheers

What do I need to do short them together or swap them round

[ammar786]

Thanks for the drawing but do I need to swap wire 111 with 14 and 14 with 11 or put a piece of wire between 11 and 14 to short them together

Thanks

[shedrool83]

Just use a piece of wire between them.

Have you put the earth strap from engine to body fella ?

[ammar786]

Finally got it started today and it sounded like a spitfire poplin and banging even my neighbourh came round to see what had happened

The problem why it woudnt start was a snapped wire to the starter motor
What a joke especially after spending 3 days trying to sort the problem out

Thanks for all the help I have recieved its much. Appreciated
