Just took the connector off to fit another one, went inside, came back out and forgot which wire goes which side

Looking down on the ISCV from the front of the car as fitted into the car, does the red/black wire go on the left or the right side of the ISCV

help much appreciated

cheers

PAUL

 

don't have a red/black wire on mine but i know the one on the left if looking from the front of the car is the live

 

thanks, sounds about right as I assumed the red/black was switched live and thought it was on the left side of the connector.

Can anyone confirm

thanks

 

can anyone put my mind at rest before I connect it up.

All you need to do is pull up the rubber from the connector and confirm what colour wire is on the left hand side

please please please

 

Brown+Yellow - engine side.
Black+Red - coil/battery side.

on a 2wd cossie.

 

really appreciate your help Frog, you saved me nearly putting them the other way around

thanks mate

 

now I hope I got it right

 

I do believe it doesnt matter which way round it goes!

Could be wrong though...LOL.

 

Rock Your World, yes you could be

 

You sure gareth?...as it dont matter on the amal valve or the injectors...

 

Well I just connected it all back up as per frogs description and she is running sweetly again from cold - the original connector felt loose and I thought that may the problem, and it appears to have been the case

 

 

POLARITY DOES MATTER.

On 4x4 and retro fitted idle valves, they have a voltage protection diode
within the valve and if you wire it backwards it will NOT work.
(If wrong, it will effectivly short out and eventually damage the ECU)
Some valves do have a + mark on them but not all.

If it does not work, try reversing the polarity but only make a short duration
test time to prevent ECU damage !

 

SECS, i thought i remember seeing a flywheel diode in some diagram i read long time ago,, but i wasnt 100%
