Hi all,
Just invested in my 96 4.0 Chim and very pleased so far. Lots of small issues to sort out and making good ground, but loving every minute. Digging around I have found two bare wires just between the bottom of the alternator and the distribute cap. Everything seems to be working electrically but any ideas would be much appreciated

Also, does anyone recognize this sensor to the right of the brown plug? It has a round connection on top? just in front of the passenger side rocker cover?


Many thanks,
New Proud Owner

One cable is black and the other is black/green. The bible does not help

Hi.Just had a look at my V8 build diagram and the black, black/green cables are for the compressor clutch on cars with aircon. Some more info but not sure you need it if no aircon fitted. The cables should have a round plug on the end,2 cavities,part NoAFU3692[Lucas].Cavity 1 is cable No99[black/green].Cavity 2 is cable No100[black=earth]. Black/green cable goes to compressor clutch relay cavity87 by engine ecu. Any other probs with engine harness give us a shout.Regards.Dave.

Thanks Dave,
My Chim has no air con, so I presume these are just surplus on my car
