Coil Pack Loom Issues - 2 Looms With Different Voltages

Wasn't sure where to put this so mods can move this if needed.

Bought another loom for the CA18 as mine were all perished and cracked like most of them out there.

Car would not fire with the new loom connected, cranks fine and can see spark arcing to metal if I pull the coils out. Starts fine with the old loom so checked both looms with multimeter and found my old loom gives around 12.04v (dry cell in boot so a bit lower than full voltage as expected) and new loom is 11.95v so I'm assuming that's the issue. My wideband originally wouldn't fire up until it had a full 12v and required a direct earth to get it.

Used same earth point for both looms but I'm taking a stab and saying the earth wire (that bolts down to the coil pack frame) is possibly dodgy or I require a direct earth to chassis (though I did some quick testing and found the voltages didn't appear to vary when putting the multimeters black probe anywhere else on the body).

Before I go cutting off ends ad crimping new terminals can anyone think of any other reason why one loom would give me lower voltage? My electronics skill is self taught and admittedly rudimentary.

cheers

Found that the new loom had a different pin configuration, disassembled the plug, re-arranged the pins into the same order as my original loom and hey presto everything works.

My guess is the loom I bought came off an older gen CA.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
