I kept the body loom in my VL and just hooked up the appropriate wires for the gauges. You will get to know wiring diagrams well!

check your connections mate, usually the ignition module is the problematic child. since you changed everything tho, connections and fuses.

hey guys, So i have the engine and box from a vr v8 auto. have followed the wiring diagram and the efi relay clicks in all good, but im having drama's from the fuel pump one. The relay does not click, and i cant get power from the green and white wire. I have power at the red/orange on the oil sensor but not the purple. any idea's??? How can i check that the computer is actually transmitting a signal as i have no spark either? Cheers

Ok i have done this and it works perfectly thanks so much. To those trying this take your time and double check as you go (i ****ed a couple up) my mistake was using 12v power supplies to the computer relay that had 12v with ignition on but when it was cranking over would drop off essentually disabling the ECU easy fix and now runs no problem. Pink - anti theft connect to 12v And Ignition supply wire to the EFI relay These 2 i had connected to poor 12v supplies

hi I have finished wiring my vk using your great write up and instructions. I am having a problem with my fuel pump- the pumps will prime but they will not run when the car starts. I have connected straight to power to make sure the pumps were ok and they work fine. not sure if I have hooked up something wrong or whats going on. please help

Hi all, I just followed these instructions and seams ok, but. My fuel pump will not prime. I can hear the relay working, when I turn the key, the relay turns on for a few seconds then turns off, but the pump will not work?? Also The plug on the VR loom near the computer has different color wires, anyone know which wire is for what? I have figured out - (anyone know how to upload pics?) pink =Anti theft circuit. Need to connect this wire to positive (+) ignition on, otherwise it will no run the computer, this wire can be hooked up to your immobiliser realy so the car will not start unless this wire gets a positive power supply. Brown with white trace wire – next to the red and black Check engine light negative (-) power output. (must connect) connect this wire to a light somewhere on you dash to negative wire on the light and the positive wire from the light should be connected to ignition on power.
