[W126 Coupe] Throttle body wiring question

[Ian Gatenby]

Thanks Talbir

I guess the main reason for not transferring the wiring module across was
the difficulty incurred in removing the '87 wiring - but then, I pulled the
whole loom out - not just the engine related parts

Ian

The central pin is a ground pin - the throttle switch basically works as 
follows : provides a ground signal at full throttle to indicate this and 
likewise for zero throttle.

So it is likely that the central pin missing on the 500 wiring needs to be a

ground signal.

Any reason why you haven't transferred the CIS-KE injections system and 
ignition system over ?

You won't get the power output that you should without the correct CIS and 
ignition modules in place.

The CIS/ignition loom is quite involved but it is a fairly straightforward 
plug and play device (with several plugs of course !). Removing the wiring 
is the difficult parts, especialy in the region where the wiring runs behind

the heater hoses under the wiper motor area.

I'd really reccomend transferring the wiring/modules across if it's 
increased power you are looking for.
