Hey I am using an ecu from an automatic car in my manual car. I believe there is a wire I have to jump so that the ecu thinks that it is in park so that the car will start up. Does anyone know anything about this?

The ECU I am using is from an AE111 Levin.

Cheers

Yep thats right.

Im running an auto ecu on my manual 20v (ae101).

Just find the selector plug on the loom that went to the gearbox and jump two wires, or just cut the plug off and join the two wires. Sorry but I cant remember which wires were the right ones

Hey would it be one of these plugs by any chance?

Cheers

The one in the bottom picture looks like the ignitor plug.

The black one in the top picture appears to be the tps plug, hard to tell on that angle.

Its easier to look at a wiring diagram and it'll only be one wire.

that is definately not the ignitor as it is already connected and the TPS would be at the other end of the loom.

Hopefully I'll pay you back later.

I put a 5A fuse between the two black wires on that plug to short out the connection and then started the car but got no spark. Any ideas where to start looking? Cheers

Where bouts are you??

by **KinLoud** » Fri Feb 17, 2006 10:08 pm

I presume you are saying that the engine turned over which means that you must have shorted out the right connection.
No spark....
Make sure your ignitor or coil is bolted to a good earth as this can be a classic problem.

I am from Chch.
I will try giving the ignitor a better earth.

Cheers

by **johntramp** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 2:02 pm

no

giving the ignitor another earth didn't make any difference.

At the moment I have the starter motor wired directly off the ignition so I don't know if the computer is even turning on.

can anyone give me any tips on tracing electrical faults? cheers

Does not work for all cars you know.

the black plug looks like the speedo sensor plug?

If you can get hold of a multimeter, turn it to ohms to check resistance. (may need a long bit of wire to clip to one probe of the multimeter) and put one end onto the plug in the engine bay and another at the ecu plug . Make sure battery is disconnected and plugs are out of the ecu before attempting to unplug the ecu plugs and caryying out this test. When you have go tthe same wire the multimeter screen should go from infinity (.1 screen display) to circuit (000 on screen display) that way you can tell if it's the right plug/ wire. mark down what wire colours are, then plug ecu plugs back in and turn key on, check there's power at the igniter, also check your fuses too
