Hi all,

Need help with the attach picture. Can u guys send me a pic of that exact spot or can I assume A connects to A and B to B as per the pic?

Can't believe a f**king rodent can cause me so much pain and suffering and unwanted expenses!! [emoji35][emoji34]

And also can i drive around without those attach and i have no known issues of over heating ? [Till i have the connectors ordered and arrived of course]

Thanks!

No, they are not connected. top/black is a coolant sensor for dash, lower/red is a coolant sensor for ECU. the things you marked b are earths.

I don't know which colour wire from the engine loom needs to run to each, but you may be able to tell from the remaining wire at the sensor/earth end.

Can you just get a new engine loom? And what is it, 33 gtst?

Oh btw if it starts and runs, yes you can drive around without them. It won't run properly when cold (because ECU won't know it's cold) and your dash gauge probably won't work

An engine loom will cost more. I mean they're also selling just the connectors so might as well utilise them?
f**king hell it's pissing me off...can anyone send me a pic of theirs so i know what connects what?

This is from a rb25det.
i won't be doing the work. Will send it to a mechanic. And i am using a power fc too if that makes any difference...

I can't help with a pic but hopefully someone can.

The only connector you need is for the coolant temp sensor (red). You have the connector (black) for the dash sender, which it may not be repairable due to not enough wire, it can be replaced with a simple crimp connector. The earths are also crimp connectors so nothing special there use a 10mm spanner or socket on the bolts to disconnect them

The other part to this puzzle is the wires at the end of your engine loom that used to go to those connectors. Do you have a pic of the end of your engine loom?

In any case a reasonable mechanic or auto electrician will sort it out

OK, so assuming it starts and drives, you take it to a competent mechanic, (it will probably run poorly when cold so let it warm up for say 5 min). They will say "holy shit, what's this mess", you'll tell them to fix it, they'll pull back the engine loom wrapping far enough to see the colours and will match the wires in that loom to the remaining wires at the manifold that you've pictured, they'll rejoin them all (probably 5 or 6 in total) and everything will be happy again.

do you have a hand controller as well? If you go under sensor check you can see which sensor is causing the check light.

my guess would be it won't cause the light because it would just read a broken wire as some sort of very low temp. but that's just a guess....

It should be looking for a voltage (usually between 0.5v and 4.5v) and anything outside that is a sensor fault (short circuit would be 5v and open circuit would be 0v)
Fairly sure this will show up in sensor/sw check but may also give a fixed, incorrect value as well as suggested

I don't have the time to check yet as car isn't with me. .. so saying that. .. the car will trigger the engine check light? ?

      Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
