Argh! After spending the better part of 3 hours trying to wire up a Q45 throttle body to an ECR33 I give up!

Does anyone have the correct pinouts to wire it up? Or can someone with one currently on a car have a look + see how it's been connected?

The only results I have gotten from mix and matching is either the ECU won't turn on (shorted out) or the voltage is displayed inverse - at idle it's on 5V and works it's way down as the accelerator is depressed... or something like that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find a QH45 wiring diagram either..

OK - no digi cam - but here is what I see:

Looking at the plug when the latchy release thing is at the top

TPS Side

1 2 3

-------------------------

1 2 3

ECU Side

TPS Side

1 = Pink (left)

2 = White (middle)

3 = Blue (right)

ECU Side

1 = Black with red stripe (left)

2 = White, thick wire (middle)

3 = Black, solid (right)

So from left to right (plug latch thingy on the top)

Pink on TPS side goes to Black red stripe on the ECU side

White on the TPS side goes to White (thick wire) on the ECU side

Blue on the TPS side goes to solid black on the ECU side.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help guys, the problem was that I was connecting the active three wires on the loom up to the wrong connector on the throttle body - logically I thought the active connector on the t body was the one directly mounted on the shaft, but it's the loose one that is hanging off the throttle body!

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
