[ELECTRICAL] Motronic
Sorry I was kinda panicky when I wrote the original email.
It's an 81 Scirocco
2.0 16v w/ 1.8 head 4k tranny (if those details help)
There are NO wires in the car--And I mean none.
No a/c
No p/s
It does have power brakes
I can hook up the lights, wipers/washers, horn
I am going to wire the radiator fan direct with a switch inside the car.
The car has no interior, only front seats.
No dashboard, I will fabricate one after everything is hooked up and
working.
I will be using original light switch, hazard switch, and everything in
the column (ie. Wiper switch, turn signals switch, hi-beam switch)
I will be using a 16v 160 speedo I have the connectors that plug into
the speedo on each side, they have about 4 inches of wiring coming out
of them.
I also have neuspeed oil temp, oil pressure, & voltage gauges.
I am using this fuse box:

I have a digital camera, so I will get some detailed pics up of what I
have.
So you see, I really am screwed..lol..

jason I am a little confused about what CAR, And engine you have, having
wiring is good, and if you are doing a re-wiring, only certain wires
needs
to be changed from cis-e to monotronic. now if oyu have a mKI with a
16v
engine trying to go monottronic, then indeed you are up a creek, but
plenty
of paddles around to help.
couple of questions needs answering
1. what car mki mkii
2. what engine
3. is there ANY wiring in the car or you stripped it all out ?
4. what options does the car have (this will be importabnt for the minor
stuff.

=>
=>It's been 2 1/2 years now since I started my Scirocco project, and
it's
=>all come down to this.
=>
=>I don't have any idea what I'm doing with the wiring.
=>
=>What I have:
=>92 Passat Motronic Wiring Harness W/Computer
=>87 Scirocco Wiring harness
=>81 Scirocco Wiring Harness
=>81 Scirocco Fuse Box
=>87 Scirocco Fuse Box
=>New Fuse Box (Universal)
=>
=>All harnesses have been butchered pretty bad, so I my idea is this:
=>
=>Start with the new fuse box. Get all my lights, wipers, horn working.
=>
=>Take Motronic Computer Connector and eliminate what I don't need (not
=>like I know what that is)
=>
=>Size everything up. Make sure all wires are the length they need to
be.
=>The only way I can do this is to put the computer where I want it to
be.
=>Under glove box. And figure things out from there.
=>
=>Connect the wires.
=>
=>It's that simple! Actually it's not, I can figure out all the basics,
=>lights and stuff, but the ignition system is going to be impossible.
=>I've picked up the book several times and though "I can do this" but
=>seriously, I don't know.
=>
=>Can I blow anything up if I don't hook something up right?
=>
=>I've had a million offers of friends who will help me, but offers
never
=>pan out. I'll have to do it myself.
=>
=>The Computer:
=>How much power does it need?
=>I want to run a wire from the fuse box to give it power. And of course
=>it needs a ground.
=>
=>I figure I will do this one sensor and connector at a time.
=>
=>I need solid suggestions.
=>
=>Thanks,
