Broken wire

[Moose v8]

I appear to have lost my feed to no3 injector using a noid lamp hopefully it's a broken wire just a pain removing plenum for access. Worse case is there any one who makes looms for injector's running Lucas 14 cux ECU just thinking ahead or bite the bullet and go for mappable ECU eg emerald ? It's on a modified 4.3 BV Griff thanks

Not want you or your wallet wants to hear but going aftermarket is one of the single best mods you will ever do to these cars.
If not then connectors etc are readily available so repair isn't difficult, just time consuming.

Its def a broken wire or terminal in that EV1 connector as the inj's are fired in banks of 4 odds and evens , 1 broken wire does not condemn the wiring loom it dont always mean the rest of the loom is toast, if that was the case I would be replacing wiring looms regular on modern stuff sadly its a way of life nowadays in my trade , find out if you have lost the12v+ or the ground/earth side of the connector it helps with the approach into the loom

Pretty sure it will just be in the connector as the wires are pretty well supported where they join together down in the loom.
As said plenum off will give you more space the work.

If you have to go for a new loom perhaps contact [e-mail] (son-in-law and maker of looms for John Eales at JE Developments)..

When you check the connector I believe it should have a constant 12v and it’s the earth side that is switched by the ecu, but as Steve said it’s likely to be in the plug as there is only one 12v and one earth for all 4 cylinders on each bank

Yes, you are correct broken wire on connection plug still ended taking inlet manifold off I dropped noid tester down one of the trumpets that'll teach me for rushing
