Hi there all,

 

Just in the middle of rebuilding an escort with the 2 litre mondeo engine. Well its been 3 years so far!!!

 

However it was origanlly a 1600 but everything is in but have one unidentified wiring plug, searched the manual and still cant find it!! Its 2 pin Brown and brown with white. Its down the front right hand side near the gear box, all i can think it was something to do with the B5 box that is now MTX75 but its wired or the EGR that is now gone? im stumped..

 

Not starting it till i find out what it is. other than that she is almost ready to go!! I hope so as she has cost a couple of grand so far over the last few years as everything is almost new!! To think this poor escort has not seen a road in 8 years!! a good find in an underground garage!

theres a little grey box at the back of the coil pack, cant remember is its the edis module, im sure somone will be able to confirm, make sure its not from there mate

If not check

Idle control valve

Coolant sensor (two of on the stat housing, one on top, one underneath)

check injectors are hooked up

check cam sensor ECT

im thinking it is from the left over from the old B5 box, now has MTX75 in there and all wired up. cant remember if i used the dormant plug that was on the chassis member that is for it and wired her up or there is a plug on the box im missing.

 

But i have the one plugged into the speedo cable and the big multi plug on the top.

 

Just found out that the engine mount on the other side is different a tiny bit when mtx is used and that explains why my whole ingine sits forward and inch on the box side!! as you can see it pulling on the fornt right mount so a trip to ford!
