Soob Flyer Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hello folks, I have just joined this forum and was wondering if any of you folks could lead me to some info on the wiring hook up to the ecu or what colour of wire does what. The engine is a 2.5L 2001 OR 2002 from I believe a Forester. My Questioning is in the area of the rev limiter. What wire tells the ecu that the engine has a load on it so it can raise the rev limit? I know that when you push the gas pedal to the floor in a normal car in park or neutral the rev limiter wont let the engine rev very high but when in gear you can go right up to the red line. Could there be an in gear input or perhaps a speedo pulse that the ecu looks for? And if so on what wire plug input or colour? I also have a buddy using a 2.2 who has a high speed miss and I am wondering if this is his problem as well! Both of these engines are being used in an aircraft application and I dont live within 300 miles of a subaru dealership Thanks in advance!

Soob Flyer Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Problem is Im not a hundred percent sure on that info. I am led to believe so far that the engine came out of a car in Japan and the ecu from a 2001 forester from the usa. If I see it I will recognise it.

ShawnW Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Vehicle speed sensor is what tells the car to idle rather than die at idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soob Flyer Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 Im not sure what you mean by that? If the car is stopped, the speed sensor would not be giving a pulse. Why would something tell an engine to die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
