hi all just finished my rst engine into my xr3i and just need some help,on my loom i cant find the thin black wire that goes to the 6mm bolt on the starter motor(its like its not on my loom)will it matter if i run it i just connect up the alternater and starter without this wire?thanks for your help

 

Black is a switched live(on fords) so this sounds like the starter solenoid wire ?, if so it will not matter so long as you don't mind bump starting it everywhere!!

ok sh*t that not good yeah i have been lookn for this wire but cant find it anywhere all i can find is the red/black wire, and the blue wire that goes to the alternator

 

oh i forgot 2 say that the engine still turns over without this wire connected to the 6mm bolt

 

WEll it aint the solenoid feed then!!

black is an un-fused ignition feed, the solenoid wire is a cranking feed, the wire will be black with either a blue/red stripe on it.

It usually exits the loom close to the passenger side and then for some reason doubles back across along the cross member

 

will it matter if i leave this wire not conected?i am trying 2 find it but it aint there

 

Without a cranking feed to the starter motor, you won't be able to start the engine short of bumping it

 

so why does the engine still turbo over?i dont have this black wire connected

 

okay sorry safechav yeah i have this wire connected its a thick red/black wire with a push on connector,but i dont have a thin black wire that goes on the 6mm bolt hole

 

Who told you there should be a thin black wire going to the starter

 

i have seen it on here,people say there is a little black wire going to 6mm bolt on starter,sorry if i am wrong

 

also could i get help with amal valve wiring,it has 3 hoses coming out of it 1 says R the other C,cant see the next 1

 

On the small nut there should only be a black & red/blue wire.

On the bigger nut will be the main red cable from the battery, and the 2 red wires coming from the alternator.

Amal valve:

C = compressor housing
W = actuator
R = return to the air box
