Engine wiring, sensors and switches??
Posted: 01 Aug 2009, 14:21
I have a 1.6 CS diesel van, which i am having starting problems, at first i thought it to be the glow plugs, checked these with a multimeter, all are getinng voltage. Next i noticed a couple of "loose" wires and the distinct lack of wire to the oil pressure switch on top of the filter housing!
The loose wires are blue/white and red/yellow. I recon the blue/white one goes to the temp sensor in the end of the head, (the black/greay wire from this controls the oil prssure light so i gues it goes to the oil pressure switch?) not sure at all what the red/yellow one does any ideas?
When i connect the oil light wire to the oil switch the light doent come on when the ign is on but illuminates when i start the engine! is the switch buggered?
How can i further test the glow plugs are working properly?
the switch in the water pipe from the head has a red wire coming from it, is this the temp guage sender?
Loads of questions i know, i am sure there will be more but any heads up or clues on the above would be muchly appreiciated! Thanx Guys
