just another quick one, I was going over my wiring today and noticed the oil pressure sensor from a factory vn loom doesn't actually talk to the ecm so I cross referenced it with the wiring info on the 12p thread and the isn't an input is that correct?

cheers also I had what looked like a coolant sensor on a single green wire that didn't go to one of the ecu plugs but one of the other ones I imagine that just for the temp guage as well and not relevant to the ecm

there are 2 types of earth, power earth for noisy switching loads and there is a quiet earth for sensitive circuits like sensors, these must be physically separate connections

Near the throttle body? :lol: They end up pretty much in the same physical location of the loom as the IAC. Wiring pinouts and colours are the same as on a VR, the connector should be labelled ABC .. https://pcmhacking.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=337

Does this help? Have a vague feeling the N13 loom has blue grey and black though, which must mean this is a JE camira loom. Can probably cross reference the colours with the JE and N13 wiring diagrams in the 12p thread.
