My 3dr build has now moved onto wiring! And i'm the worlds worse at it.

When i bought the shell it came with a 3dr ECU loom, however its in a right bad state so i stripped out my sapph loom which is in perfect condition, however i've noticed a difference

Basically about a foot down the loom from the ECU plug it appears to spurr off 3 ways, the main section going into the engine bay for all the sensors etc, one bit spurs and has all the relays attached in the passenger footwell and the 3rd spur went back up into behind the dash and connected via a plug into the loom in nthe car - its this plug that differs, on the 3dr loom this has 2 small balck square plugs each with 3 wires going into them, the sapph loom has just 1 plug with 6 wires going in, and they look a smaller diameter than the 3dr wires

First question is whats this for, is it rev counter or something?

And secondly, the shell come without a car loom (the one that controlls the headlights , wipers etc) so was going to use a Mk1 xr4i loom (as i have access to one) am guessing this will have 2 connection points and my sapph single plug wont match up so how do i get round that? Suppose more to the point should i even use the 4i loom!

Any help is greatly appreciated as the electrics have got me in a right pickle!!!

Cheers!

From memory

saff loom 6 wires

Black red trace= fuel pump
brown white trace=temp gauge
black=ignition live(must be connected into loom as voltage sensitive for iscv)
green=tacho

other 2 wires can't remember

you can use the 4i loom no probs and connect the wires above job done
