injector wire??

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 7:47 pm

its mechanical injection

aftermarket crank angle sensor?

if the engine wasn't fitted with the extra output on the injector pump, it could be your only option.
a wee bit like fitting early non-A/C engine/pump to an A/C body, they don't have the idle-up control.

The other option (which I prefer) is to use the existing diesel RPM sensor, and swap out the tachometer and A/C computer for the factory diesel ones. This option is easier to install, the tachometer will have the redline in the right place, and it's cheaper -- especially if your truck has only a tach and no A/C, or vice versa. The downside is that the diesel tach and A/C computer will have to come from overseas. If you decide to go this route, find the two blue wires coming from the same connector as the fuel cut solenoid. The solid blue wire gets connected to ground, and the blue/white wire goes to the RPM signal wire

found that from this site http://vpizza.org/~jmeehan/toyotadiesel/ , will have to check it

the above only relates to an injector pump with those outputs.
many early L injector pumps either don't have the RPM output or A/C idle up.
early NZ new 2wd utes often have neither.

and a lot of the jap import van stuff, the base models, dont have the sensor or provision for it,
Like my 1998 Hiace doesn't have a tacho or the sensor for it,
( or passengers sunvisor, rear demister, fuel flap cable, and heaps of other normally fitted stuff)
