Looking very nice indeed!

Andrew.

I knew I'd find it eventually!
Andrew.

Yeah I'll need the fan control. Thanks yoda. BTW, while reading through my service manual PDFs I noticed there was a Holden technline on memcals that refered to my memcal version (CJDN) and that there was an issue with the engine not restarting and there was a new memcal released to replace CJDN. Do...

With many thanks to VL400 - I have a solution to the shift mode indicator issue. BCM Sim to the rescue - and it gives me the much needed Check Engine Light.

Andrew.

Thanks for posting those photos Troy. I'll have a look on my manifold and see what's there. I'm a fair way off needing the sensor working as I am only just staring on the chassis now. I took the opportunity to test all these functions on the V6 VT I'm wrecking before I start pulling it to bits. Than...

Spent some time up the shed after work this evening:

The oil pressure switch is a simple normally closed to ground contact, just like on older cars.

I wired a lamp to +12 V on the line to the PCM and everything worked as advertised. Cool.

Andrew.

Thanks Troy. I'll have a look at my manifold and see where I can mount a second sender. For the oil pressure, I guess I'll run a tee piece. Looking at the schematic, the PCM connects to the oil pressure switch which appears to be a simple switch to ground. I wonder if it is normally open. If so I wi...

surely there has to be a bung somewhere near the thermostat housing that you can mount the autometer sender in, if theres not you can always drill a hole and make one .... top of the thermostat housing might be an easy option to do it too. I was just pouring over the engine and considered exactly t...

Along the same theme as my other thread regarding the automatic transmission shift mode switch - I have stumbled on to another snag with my proposal of running my VT V8 without a BCM or OEM instruments. The temperature sensor goes direct to the PCM. The temperature gauge in the instrument cluster ru...

Thanks for the reply mate. I haven't got around to testing the switch yet but I'm almost 100% certain it is momentary. I feels momentary (not that that means anything I guess) and I've discovered that if I hold the switch down and cycle the ignition, it toggles between power and normal. So my idea o...
