Guys,

I had a question, does the GTi engine have a "knock sensor" or is the cultus engines only that have "knock sensor's" ?

Thanks

Cultus only

Hi guys,

Well I have got a few more bits in hand today. I got the PSV valve, the cam belt covers, the air flow meter. Well now the wiring is what is playing hell with me.

Another thing I wanted to know from you guys is, what is a noise suppressor and how does it work? What is its use?
Also in my wiring harness I didn't find a connection for the PSV valve. I wonder did the mark 2 ph 1 cars come with them?

I only wish someone would help me with the wiring and make life a lot easier. Sad

A noise suppressor is a device which filters electrical waves, impulses fields, 'noise' such that other more sensitive electrical components do not 'see' them and can operate effectively. Commonly used on Audio devices to hide ignition 'noise' from the stereo, removing that whining from the speakers. Some ignition modules and ECU's need or want them too.
Cant help with the other thing

So do I need to get a noise suppressor as well? Or can I run the car with it?

Should be OK without one and if the standard car has one Ive never seen it or its part of the standard loom. It wont be large

Hi,

The green square flat connector in your photo connects the engine loom into the dash loom
The engine loom connects to the fuse box in the engine bay with the big square grey connector.

When I did my GS to GTi conversion I had to change the dash/chassis loom (all behind the dash, clocks, front lights etc) because the engine would turn over but it wouldn't spark...... Basically the wires in the big square grey plug do not match up between the GS chassis loom and GTi engine loom.
Also, for the oil pressure switch this is on the GTi chassis loom not the engine loom so this will be another problem.

You will also find that the GTi coil pack uses a different connector with more wires than the normal GS or Alto one.

Cheers
