z22se -> z20leh + z20let kabelboom + m32

[dedko]

Apologies for my English! :thumb



But, I've been a long time lurker of this forum and a few months ago I was driving over to London. Just 25km outside the M25, my Opel Astra G 5-door z22se died with a bang and puff of smoke! One of the conrods snapped and shot through the front of the block!



So it was stuck in England and after lots of thinking, I asked one of the local mechanics to fit a z20leh and m32. The transplant went well, until we tried to start the engine. Nothing. No faults, no errors. The starter-motor turns the engine but the engine doesn't fire.



I confirm that:

1) The key-chip and transponder are from the same car as the z20let loom.

2) Petrol pump works.

3) Petrol doesn't get into the injectors.

4) No spark in the spark plugs.



But the z20leh ran fine before the transplant!





Any ideas what's going on? The mechanic thinks it's the dash-loom (tacho instrument kabelboom?). But, I don't know... it doesn't make sense.

Any update on this dedko?

You must tell de ecu that you have the correct keys.

You must program your keys into de ecu from the z20let outerwise yoy don t can get a fire if the ecu reconise the keys

Do you have the securitycode from the z20let ecu? Let VX reprogram your keys. Does the service light come up? Does it blink when you try to start?

Is the crankshaft sensor connected properly?

Are you sure that the key is linked to the ehm what do you call it? Does it recognise your key?

I just talked with the mechanic and asked him your questions:



He says the ECU, key-chip, transponder and engine-loom (including loom that connects to all sensors in the engine and engine bay) are from the same Astra Coupe turbo (z20let).



Still the starter-motor turns the engine but the engine doesn't fire. :hmmz

And where did the ECU come from? The key-chip + transponder + ECU must come from the same car.



My Astra G Coupe used to be Z22se aswell and I've put a z20leh and m32 in it also. I did not change the dashloom, it's not necessary.



You do have to have to change the engineloom and the loom that runs around in the engine bay. They have to be from a z20let.

Guys, the mechanic insists that it is the dashboard loom.

Keys, ecu, transponder and engine-bay loom are all from the same diner car (Astra Coupe turbo).



So, I'll try it. I want to buy a dashboard loom from somewhere. Marktplatz doesn't seem to have anything and my Duth isn't good enough to speak to my local car dump site.

But where do you live? In the UK or in The Netherlands?



I do have a dashloom for you, but I'm quite sure that is not the problem.
