can anyone tell me who is in the buissness of modifying 24v cosworth looms to fit into a sierra.
i have a 24v loom that the previous owner removed from the granada with a hacksaw!
i actually got it all going and the engine running but it was never at full power as i had to bypass many fuctions.
now that the car is getting a rebuild i'd like it done properly so any contacts would be appriceated,
thanks

 

PM mark_24v_wiring

 

Yer, PM my brother as Jim said.

If the loom is that hacked he may not be able to do anything with it

I can think of better things than a hacksaw to take a loom out with lol pm me with the details of what happened to the loom what you did to get it running etc pic's will help if you have them and we go from there mate

 

nice one, will do. i took pics of the loom yesterday laid out on a sheet so will upload when i get the camera.

the fella who cut it out is supposedly one of the top rally car builders in ireland with classic ford cover cars ect.
What a butcher!

 

when you take those looms out you dont need to cut any wire's lol

 

yeah i know, every plug around the engine was cut about three inches back from the plug instead of just unplugging it!

it was a 94 model so it had the second fuse box, and that was just hacksawed clean out rather than taking the wiring through the hole. i was given the whole loom in a black bag but luckily i knew what had went on so got it cheap.
i still had to spend two weeks with the wiring diag. before i got it going, torture!

its amazing because ive seen all this fellas other work,mk1 rally car,M3 rally car and duratec capri and the work is top quality! then he goes and does this

 

Right but after all that you managed to get it running so what makes you think you have a wiring issue with the engine?

What did you bypass to get it running that makes you think its a wiring issue as to the,, i would assume, lack of power and what is the engine in (road or race car?)

 

basically i didnt use the ,cut out, late model fuse box, so put it together copying the early type of loom as best i could.
then because none of the sensors were getting a + 12v feed i made my own loom to give them all the feed they needed. after all this it eventually fired but it never seemed to run smoothly or with any power. 2ltr twincams would have had more power than it
i suspect that a lot of the sensors were not giving the right feeds to the ecu to get it running right.

also, as you will see from the pic the loom is an absolute mess

its a road car

 

I'm sure mark will be able to do something, he did mine 2 years ago and it's been as good as gold since
now then mark long time no speak!!!

steve

 

Yeh i will be able to do something gallon of petrol and a match sounds like the best answer reading this so far still gotta have a look at the pic yet too lol.

I'm ok Steve you?
