TVR Chimaera unknown relay & Resistor
Discussion
My 93 Chimaera 430 quit on the way to a car show in Florida. I checked and bypassed both the main power relay and fuel pump relay. Checked, it has fuel pressure and spark but won't run. While trying switching relays I unplugged one to swap with another relay and accidentally found that there was not a plug but five wires were attached to it. Now I don't know which terminals to attach the wires or what the relay if for. All the wiring diagrams show only two relays, one for the pump and a main power relay from the ECM harness. Also, a resistor fell off while I was working along side the road. 130 mile towing to my home so does anyone know what the relay and resistor hook up to? Also, what wires go to each terminal of the mystery Bosch Relay 0332014107 ?
The mystery relay is on the left fuel pump in the photo.

Thank you for the placement of the tune resistor? Both of the normal relays (Pump and power) are wired correctly and work. The other one seems to be coming from the factory tape wrapped engine management wiring loom. I think my next step is to unwrap the loom to see where the wires go. Thai relay was buzzing when the engine died.
Check the wiring colours, there should be some in there for A/C too.

I think it could be a hot start kit. On mine, the negative connection was (per the dubious design) loosely connected to an empty relay socket and fell out. Message Board | Chimaera | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
