as per other threads i connected it to the thin red lead that goes to the battery and now u can see i have all electrics in the car now and i have just got the inlet bolted in place and tomorrows plans are getting the cooling system sorted and make any hoses that are required and any other silly bits i can find when i out there
the last pic is where i attached the punto red/black wire to which goes into the battery loom

am glad, so all the dash light is working as it should .

Be worth while starting the car before you put water in there! Is much easy to work on it without all the radiator hoses!

Dont worry ming thats going to be done first but i still have to drill out the bolt for the gearbox earth on the inner wing!!!! and got to get the correct fuel line connection from the scrappy otherwise i cant connect the fuel line as its got a push in connection not just put the fuel line on like with the spi
well we have both learnt something new today that all cinqs dont have a bullet connector:bang:

 

[Dan]

mine did.

@ ming OK I have finally figured out where the missing bullet connector has gone to i had already cut it off the cinq alt/starter loom as it said punto red/black to cinq red bullet under the battery tray..... well i just checked on the imola blue cinq and the bullet is actually under the back left of the inlet manifold and goes into alt/starter loom so is exactly the same as how i have wired it just without the actual bullet connector so all cinqs do have them
here is my bullet connector on the lounge floor at this min lol

you tool andy

 

[andys cinq]

ever felt like a complete dickhead!!!!! i do

 

[andys cinq]

Only managed to get 1 bit done today and that was to go scrappy and get the fuel line to fuel rail plastic union and then the heavens opened so thats all for today....not impressed

 

[ycming]

see what i done is, use the punto clip on thing, then left a bit of the blue pipe from it and have the orginial fuel pipe going over it .

am glad you found it, i would keep the bullet connector tho ? So you can remove the loom quickly if you ever need to instead of cutting the wire up!

have a look at the last pic in post 322 and the blue connector i put in cause soldering iron packed up is the point where the bullet connector should be so its still a bullet connector but of my own making when i didnt really need to cut the original off:bang:

 

[andys cinq]

Nothing done yesterday as doing my mates ecu on his zafira but new clutch cable did arrive only ordered 1 but seemed to of been sent 2 for some reason wait and see if they contact me as they probably sent me somebody elses order and they got mine....if they dont contact me result...spare cable

Remove the actual pump and put it in the cinq housing!!!!!

Why you using a seicento one given the choice?

ming

 

[andys cinq]

Wanted to use the non return pump as the return is built in and on spi it has the return but i just did a search and found arcs link on fueling so what im going to do is use the cinq housing with the gt pump i have in it and use the fpr as the connection to the return pipe...link blow and what are your opinions plz

[randomizered]

Yep, that will work fine

 

[andys cinq]

Another bit of confusion now as i am looking at a set of kv85s on ebay and there are 3 sets listed for the 1.2 16v,one set for a 95-99 @ £82.00,another set for 99-03 @ £81.25 and the 3rd set for a 97-00 @ £70.67 which is the correct set? all for 1.2 16v sporting/85....suggestions plz

 

[randomizered]

I'd GUESS the 95-99 will be for engines with the cinq style coil packs.

Out of the other two, I'm not sure what the difference will be. They will be for the singl/icombined plastic coil pack.

Magnecor are really helpful if you call them

the leads are dam expensive on the 16v ... think i paid like 40 quid for a standard set!

Today even though i feel like death warmed up i went out got the new second hand starter in and hey presto its turns over :slayer: so i was right about dead starter...phew not my wiring
tomorrow if i feel ok is going to be getting the fuel lines connected properly and then get it started quickly as no exhaust :devil: so now to my question is this manifold the one i need just as a temp measure till compensation comes thru and i can buy a new supersprint .can the cat stay or will there be enought room in the bay??
