![]() It took longer to run the wideband wires and mount everything nice and neat out of site than it did to get the actual PiMP ecu installed! I did use the stock signal wire (to pin 29) of the O2 harness and all is perfect. I did find 12v power to the low oil sender (which is part of the O2 harness) but it never lit my test light…only showed 12v on the digital readout of my multi-meter…HOWEVER, even showing 12v it would NOT power the wideband…Īt this point I decided to scrap the stock harness idea for power and wire it to a known 12v key on source – once I did this the wideband powered up with NO problems. My mechanic said I WON’T get 12v because they never see more than 5v so I was getting conflicting info. Additionally, I never had any issues with gas mileage or drivability in the past (stock or modified) so I was confident there wasn’t a problem with the wires. I traced a lot of under hood wires and harnesses but never found anything wrong. ![]() I went through my stock O2 harness with a fine tooth comb but I was never getting 12v to the power wire of the stock O2’s. I initially had some issues getting power to my wideband (AEM 30-2310) O2 sensor. I also had to install the 12v ignition jumper (more on that under CDI Hookup below) and had to run a vacuum line to the manifold and that was it. The instructions DO mention this but I just assumed my PiMP unit would have been configured from the factory for a V8 – no biggy really, it was a quick fix. A quick post on the forum confirmed & gave me the answers I needed so I installed the required jumpers. When the car wouldn’t initially fire I knew something wasn’t right so I looked inside to see NO jumpers. ![]() My PiMP was shipped with NO jumpers installed. The pre-availability support was excellent which made me feel even better about wanting one. I read all the threads going on about it, and asked a TON of questions before it was even available. When I first saw this was going to be available I knew I wanted it for my Capri – even though I had no prior MS experience and even though I ALSO have an SVO! (which the PiMP was originally developed) My Capri is heavily modified, and while it ran and drove fine, I really needed a more reliable programmable ECU in addition to needing to dial in my A/F ratio. ![]()
