97 1.9d Switch on Fuel Injection pump and other ma - stevegee
I have fitted a D8A engine in place of a DHY, the fuel pumps are slightly different.
I had to change the blue conenctor over so I could get the stop solenoid to work and want to know what is the microswitch activated by a cam on the throttle arm?
To mount it on the XUD110 pump I will have to drill two holes through the casting (you can see the molding) but when activating the switch manually nothing seems to happen.
It looks like the cam only activates the microswitch up near full throttle anyway.
What does it do and what happens if I don't fit it?

I also need to know the location where the spare grey plug goes left over.

And why my spedo and tacho dont work.

not sure about the cam, a picture would be helpful.

as for the speedo and tacho, the dash display can be 2 types in a 306, one is cable operated and the other digital. the sensor is mounted on the rear of the gearbox, on the engine side where it meets the gearbox about the height of the sump gasket. you may have missed reconnecting the plug if it's digital, or putting the cable back in.

The switch on the cam operates the EGR - forget it.

Chris solved.

I found the white connector and stretched it around the back and fitted it to the sensor and covered it with the heat pouch.
The tacho was the grey lead it works fine.

Very interesting rev limit range speeds are totally unsuited for Australian driving conditions.


We have 40K 50K 60K urban
70 80 90 100 110 country.

1st is too low and the turbo runs out pof puff.
2nd is too fast in boost range so you have to back off

3rd is great 4th is 20k over state limit 5th at 2500 rpm is off boost and no power at the legal limit.

Only comes on boost at 120-140 way over our state rural limit.

Ah well.

Thems the breaks.
