Engine Harness Pin Removal
Good Afternoon,
After combing through a variety of emissions removal and de-pinning and engine swap threads I have a few questions I am a bit unsure of. The car is:
Thanks in advance. Jessehttps://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...995e1817ca.pnghttps://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...3cea41d42a.png |

I'm pretty sure the ECU uses this sensor to determine engine temps and bases its fuel delivery accordingly(cold start, open/closed loop etc) while the one on the side of the engine is for the dash temp gauge. The ECU should still run the engine with this gone but I don't think there would be any advantage to eliminating it while having several drawbacks.
Thanks Jesse |
As Mlammert said, the temp sensor behind the water pump is used by the ECU. I would assume you would have to run everything relevant to the engine. S5 is OBD so it possible you may throw some codes if some things are left disconnected without an ECU flash. I could be wrong though. After you finish the harness, but before you wrap it up, I'd give it a test run to make sure everything is running ok in case you need to add more wires.

Oh yeah, being S5 might make things worse with the limp modes the ECU can use. I think disconnecting the electronic OMP can cause limp mode too. On my early S4 I don't think they had those since I've tried it out and ran the car with it disconnected to see what would happen to my AFRs, pretty sure the S4 just defaults to a base fuel map. Definitely use the ECU temp sensor, no reason not to for either S4 or S5.
Disconnecting the S5 OMP is the only thing that will put your S5 in limp mode. |

S4 had a mechanical OMP.
