Guys feel free to ignore this (it may be totally off the mark!)

But I have recalled back to what Mr DTM advised me when I was converting my 2.5 CDX, and I'm almost certain that the RPM feed from the ECU was pin Forty something, maybe 44?

Sorry I can't be more certain without more digging...

Hi James, thanks for the comments.

Mines the 2.6 with the stupid double plug set up, on the old 5.1 setup i think you are right it is pin 44

Easy to find RPM signal wire on 2.5 V6.

Pull back the protective sheath from the loom where it exits the ECU plug and search for the thin plain green wire. It's the only one without a second tracer colour.

A simple tap connector onto this wire shouldn't cause any problems as it's well protected from the weather in there, and you can easily bury it in the loom for a more professional look.

Mines a 2.6 with the later motronic ECU that has the double plugs

we found it eventually, but i still has not cure the issue we have in not being able to get it running correctly.

Going to Kevins this week to let him have a noset over it and see if i have done anyting really bloody stupid that is causing this or is it potential component failure.

Not sorted all the details out yet. Just asked him to put a kit aside.

At Last!!!!! all sorted....

Picked FFCGary1 up tonight and headed over to Kevin's, on the way i said it would be either something so stupid or something has broken......

It was the stupid one, i had connected the switched live to something that kicked out less than 12 volts at times, this meant the the ECU was shutting down, once we had that sorted the rest just fell into place.


However the heater pump packed up tonight, so we replaced that with some copper pipe, i don't think that repair held out as it looks like the car has dumped its coolant all over the place.

Big thanks to Kevin for his help and thanks for the food as well :y

Daz  :y no worries mate

Just spoke to Jeremy, he seems to be returning to normal now.

Just got to do the final calibration and increase the LPG pressure, Kevin, it was the allen key behind the sticker  ;)

Excellent. :y Good to know.

It seems the Vapourisers are set a little low from the factory. Marie's was the same.

I'm upset to hear my copper pipe bodge didn't work. :(

It did about 20K on the Westfield with no leakage.  ;)
