Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

yeah will have to do that.

as the car died on way to work, wouldn't restart. Had someone bring a fresh battery out to me and that got me to work. the 3 warning lights are on all the time. charge battery every night. battery is fine.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

Can get a shot of one but mines reading fine on anything else I try.

Ay that fuse is fine to.

Will need to check eveything again but already went round everything a few times and it was the same.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

Yeah fuse is fine. Just checking ignition relay, according to BGB the should be continuity between pins 1 and 3, my meter dosent beep, shows 68 ohms between them. Could this be the issue? But with power on the relay, it does what it should as described by bgb. It still starts, sounded like it was ru...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

Yeah realised that after I had done it :oops: still not getting 12v to it though. There is continuity between all points there should be after the plug on base of fuse box, so problem must be further back. Only wiring diagrams I can find are in japanese, do you know where the wire leads to in the ca...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

Across the terminals of ECU-IG fuse I'm only getting 0.2v, so break must be further up.

Where does the wire end up from from the fuse box, looks like the loom goes into the cabin at the end of the fuel tank?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

I have continuity between pin on plug for b/y wire on alt to the plug in fusebox on the thick b/y wire. But I'm only getting 0.4v at the alternator plug.

How do I get to the bottom of the fuse box? Have taken brackets and clip off but its held by something, can move it enough to see underside.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Will a 7 stud manifold fit a 9 stud head?

My rev 2 turbo has a cheap stainless manifold fitted by P/O, it has cracked.

Want to fit a standard manifold, I have a couple from my old GT4s, but they are both 7 stud, rev 2 head is 9 stud.

Will a 7 stud manifold fit a 9 stud head?

[Mk2] [Turbo] 3 pin plug on alternator - 0v on one pin - where does wire go?

Rev 2 Turbo

Car is not charging battery, checked 3 pin plug with ign on, found one pin to be at 0v (think it is black and yellow wire nearest the floor).

Where does the wire go? Looks like it goes into the loom at the intake manifold. Is there anywhere it usually breaks?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev limiter/launch control (Bee R etc)

Had one in my old GT4, blew the manifold and turbo gaskets.
May have caused the turbo oil seals to fail as well.
Still have the BeeR, don't know if i'll fit it to MR2 though.

OK thanks for that, I thought the sensor went to the ECU.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Does it matter where speedo converter is wired in?

Fitted a speedo converter to my car (Rev 2), it hasnt made any difference to reading, its still in KPH.
The instructions with the unit say to wire it in at the gearbox sensor, I wired it at the ECU.
Does it make any difference where I have wired it? Thought it was the same signal wire at the ECU?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev counter over reading by 1000rpm

I have a link for page I found info on capacitors, wont let me post it, google 'MR2 capacitor' and its the top result. The counter moves properly now, but when it gets power, it thinks 1K rpm is zero.

Il try giving it power, taking off needle and moving to zero.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Rev counter over reading by 1000rpm

Rev counter on my rev 2 turbo is over reading by about 1000rpm. It had speedhut dial backings when I got it., dont know if a P/O had taken the needle off to fit, I didnt to remove. It was hardly working at all untill I replaced the capacitors. Is there a way to zero it or do I have to take the needl...
