DIY: Hopeless project.

[Rascal21]

You are absolutely right!
Thanks a lot for the educating info there Ivan, I couldnt find it from the manual even if it was about life and death


And can I just say KUDOS to anyone with ANY understanding of those riddle charts called ""ae86 manuals"" with diffuse (at best) references to contact/plug/pin points, wire colours and so forth
Took Jamie just 1 minute to figure it out though, he must be a true scholar!

From what he figured, the speed signal pin is pin no.14 (From the left) on white connector for the cluster:

(B means instrument cluster terminal connectors.)

And goes to, according to 20v manual (bt8-fi.pdf on aeu86 home) the black 22-pin Terminal on pin.no 3 at the ECU (This is the kind of manual I like):

See, I can do it if its not written in ancient riddles!


Theres also an issue figuring out the vacuum system, I`ve connected diafram (Sorry, couldnt find the correct English spelling) with vacuum nipple at #4 throttle body, with two one-way valves in between, but thats pretty much where progress stopped.

When I got the engine, most of the lines (Minus EVAP and Diafram) was not connected to the vacuum rail anyway so thats why I`m having trouble re-connecting everything, when theres no references to the original setup on this engine.

I promise, if I EVER get this vacuum stuff straight and running well, I`ll write a technical on it!

Btw, nice Ivan, you got your ae86 about 10 times cheaper than mine, and 2 times cheaper than my daily driver, market and demand really impacts the prices!
Let`s just forget about the whole thing let it be about the car, everyone makes do with what they got anyway
