Diagnostic plug

[johnnywgk]

Anyone know where to plug in a diagnostic machine into and what it looks like tia

The trailing female connector socket for the 2.9 Ford EFi 'Star Tester' is somewhere above the passenger footwell/ behind the glovebox/ carpet trim. It is amongst the mare's nest of wiring which also comprises the fuseboard and relays and the ECU, all carefully stuffed up there at random in true TVR style.

I believe two S Clubbers have Star testers available for loan, providing postal costs each way are covered by the borrower.
Contact Phillpot or RayTVR via their PH profile page.

I'm not sure if generic fault code readers are compatible, but the Star Tester can check a lot more dynamic functions as well as just displaying fault codes.

Cheers Glen, I think I can get hold of a tester, just hope I can find the plug with all the other unused plugs under there

You're looking for a connector with three wires;

THEY SHOULD BE BROWN, BROWN/GREEN AND BLUE/GREEN

Thanks again Norman, received codes. I've been searching for a wiring diagram and found a post by you 2013 stating you're an ex owner.
Can't believe it was that long ago. Take care.
