Please could someone either scan in a page of the haynes manual or draw a diagram of the cinq's ignition wiring.

I am starting a small project and need to know how the ignition system works before i start it.

here is a diagram of how i imagine it, could someone correct it for me?

Cheers!

Any use?



The wire going off the screen is the starter.

wow thats erm complex!

i think it's the same if i understand it correctly,

when the key goes in nothing happens, then on the first turn it inspects the key for the chip and enables the fuelpump, whilst turning on all the electrics in the car, then when you turn it the second time it sends power to the starter motor (hopefully via a relay??) and then the key springs back to the second notch, leaving the electrics turned on...

Remember that you have the parking light switch in there too.

brilliant!

one last question...

between the ignition barrel and the starter motor, is there a relay or does it run directly from the power supply coming from the barrel?

I think barrel to starter is direct. It's only a low voltage/current. It activates the solenoid that engages the teeth, and switched the main voltage wire. Therefore no high current is needed from the switch

ah i been trying to find that diagram as im currently wiring in my Clifford intellistart 4 to my seicento

seems to start up and then run for a second then die? it isnt sensing the engine running? ive tried the RPM lead on the black/violet altenator wire and the Tacho out from my Megasquirt with no sucess
