Wiring For A C20Xe Engine

[Guest gazza1591]

Does anyone have a drawing/diagram of how to wire the c20xe engine up that is running a dizzy with mechanical advance.

Don't have any wiring diagrams or anything but I could probably trace mine and tell you where it all goes. Is there anything specific you need to Know? Bob tucker is your man for this really hopefully he will see the post if he's about.

Just can't get any life to the car at all? I get 12v as far as the starter motor, but nothing at the ignition barrel we'll on the battery terminal on back. Of ignition it reads 0.09v with ignition on or off

I'll have a look at mine later when it's cooled down. Just been on the rolling road. I don't have an ignition switch as I have a master switch that turns everything on and off. I have a conventional coil and the standard ignition module. Have you had it running.

[Guest gazza1591]

Nope not had it running as yet

Any luck with this mate

Sorry, been a bit busy but I will see what I can make out tomorrow before I go out in it. Most of the loom is wrapped up in plastic piping so I don't know how much I will be able to make out. Having said that there's nothing extra on the car so that should help. The actual ignition module coil and distributor are easily accessible so I will start there and work back. It's nearly 40 degrees in my garage at the moment so I don't fancy it tonight.

Yea no problem at all, and my garage is the same so not working on it today way to hot in there

Don't think I am going to be able to help much my car has been completely rewired and most of the wires are hidden inside tubing and a lot of them are one colour, red maybe live but I can't trace them individually. The ignition part of the harness is another made up piece and is all black wire. I don't really want to mess about with the harness too much as everything is finally working after being out of commission for a year. Try Google as these engines find their way into everything minis,corsas,westfield escorts and so on. Some people make new harnesses and some use the original so the info should be out there somewhere. Stick with it they are a cracking engine especially in a lightweight car like robin hood.
