Say hello to my little friend!

Is the charge wire easily identifiable?
Thanks

The yellow wire coming from the alternator plug.

Try connecting the red fuel pump wire to the ignition first to see if the engine runs continuously when started.. This will bypass the relay.

Ok cool ill give that a go
Cheers Vince

I did yes

The alternator 'L' wire is the one that goes to the charge light on the dash through the 'Charge' fuse in the box under the bonnet.

Thats correct.
The pump runs when cranking (Key held in start position) and will only run continuously when the oil pressure builds up enough to earth out the oil pressure wire.

If it's a problem with the sender, you can connect the oil pressure wire to the 'L' wire (sense wire) at the alternator instead.
is that the one that's bolted to the post?

Re: the starting issue, maybe the S relay is faulty?
yeah I thought the same so swapped it out with a new one but still same, it's intermittent though as I had about 8 cranks and it was fine but then it came back again

Did you connect the three wires at the ignition multi-plug to the wires I showed you in the photo?

I did yes

[BUSHWHACKER]

I was wondering if maybe the posts on the oil pressure sender had been labelled up wrong so I swapped them over, now the dial reads zero and goes up to about 6 on turning over, when I disconnect your oil pressure wire from the sender and switch the ignition on a can hear the pump going but when I re connect it stops?

It does sound the dogs b&@£cks when it fires though!

[zem_41]

So now as I turn the key to the ign on position not the start position it tries starting and the starter stays on, even with key out and then I have to hit the relays for it to stop.

[zem_41]

I'm just wondering if it's something to do with the alarm I have fitted which wires into the plug under the steering wheel

[zem_41]

Yep all dash lights come up, the ecu check light on the lead onlys flashes as it's turns over, it doesn't light up before turning the key.

[zem_41]

When it tries starting on it's own, if I tap the bank of relays it stops ?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Does the ecu case need an earth?

No.

What happens when you switch the ignition on? (Dash warning lights on)

Just noticed the red light isn't coming on now, and the starter got stuck on, even with the key pulled out? Moved the wiring around and it stopped
