Engine wiring, e.g Lambda Extensions

[lowtechguy]

If you want to tap into OEM wiring for gauges or want to extend lambda sensors for your sports cats etc but doing it professionally then here is the information you need.

All of the waterproof connectors under the bonnet are called AMP Superseals, these are used on all connectors except a couple which i cannot think of.

Examples are:
oil pressure, tps, icv, lambda, reverse switch, speedo sensor etc.

You can use any crimping tool, and the little yellow bits are seals which fit over the cable before you put them in the connector. They seal water tight.

They are abit confusing because the end which you would guess is the male is refered to as the female as it is the other part that holds the pins.



If you want to purchase you can do so from the below link online.

FYI the lambdas are 4 way 1.5mm connectors.

Hope this helps some of you.

Looks like I will be needing this soon going on my bizarre lambda readings, I guess the exhaust fitter will be able to sort out any necessary extensions/and an extra lambda boss post cat.

I think it would be great if someone could explain again why the 2nd lambda is important as many seem to neglect this (including me in the past!).

I always was under the misguidance that it made r/r diagnostics easier etc.

its obd2 requirement, it checks the cat is working etc
