right so as a few of you may know i have changed the engine too a 1.6 8v,
i have a nova loom but all the plugs look different to mine, and i arnt a technion

so i was just wondering if anyone can help by labeling the wires for me?
here are some pictures, i know the yellows ones must be injector's, the blue little one must be the water temp,
then the rest i dont have a clue really










any help will be greatful... also some wires have been cut, so need find what clip/connection is needed for that too,

thanks you

Where abouts are you based I know these engines and wiring like the back of my hand

stoke on trent mate

what are you stuck with nath? as draping the loom over the engine should make alot more sence as to where the plugs attach to,

got hand full of cut wires too :/, i'll have a play see what happens

I would just plug what you have in and go from there the pictures of the cut wires you have are just basically every thing you need to run it;

Thick red - constantly live
Thin black - switch live
Thick red and blue - fuel pump feed
Green - rev counter
Blue - temp gauge
Brown yellow - diagnostics
Brown white - diagnostics

By the look of your loom it's from a nova gte looks to be a dizzy type?

it would be wouldnt it means as its for a 1.6 8v?

Kind of, the nova gte had the e16se on hall effect dizzy and the gsi had the c16se on coilpack so the looms are quite different the c16 also came in the Astra cessaro ( think that's how you spell it) anyway the silly convertible saloon abomination they made

cant remember what he said it was... but i'd say the dizzy as most were, werent they...
yeah since looking at both sets of wiring, i come to the conclusion that them cut wires on the end, join a black connector that i have on the corsa ecu wiring... so goin cut that connection off my other corsa loom and join them up then its just the figuring out the rest.... but i may have another loom with all connections hopefully

its a siemens ecu and i red earlier thats the dizzy, and the boush it coil i think, that was the way anyway

If everything plugs up in regards to the engine then you only need to wire the cut wires to the small black connector in the drivers side kick pannel and the Siemens Ecu is for the later type c16 with dis and bosh is for the early e16 that has the worlds biggest afm and the distributor

oh nath, i think you'v found the true 8v nut here (c16se corsa)

My mother calls me the oracle is that a good thing

Here you go




1. Airflow Meter
2. Injectors
3. Not Entireley sure
4. Should Be Crank Sensor
5. Ignition Amplifier
6. Coil Pack (Connector Missing) {Green -}{ Black sw +}
7. Throttle Position Sensor
8. Hall Effect Sensor (dizzy)
9. Water Temp Sensor (Clocks)

If ive missed any let me know its abit difficult withough it being over the car and with a few plugs missing

cheer's for them picture's mate, i'm going to label the full wiring up now, but ...
anyidea's what this is?


it has 4 small wires in it, and blue bit on it
