Rich Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I cant diagnose this without pics or a better description. what have you done ? what have you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I had a 1.4s lupo. I've done an engine conversation to a 1.6 polo 6n2 gti engine. I've used the engine harness and in car loom from the polo and plugged all the engine harness in and same with the car loom. I turn the ignition on and lights on dash come on. I turn the key further to start the engine but as I have no spark the engine won't start. As I let go on the key the engine continues to turn over until I turn the ignition off. Any more info you need mate let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 just because the loom plug together does not mean they are wired the same, for example with the radio loom you sometimes have to swap 2 wire around because the igntion live and the permanent live are reversed, you will probably find that some wires have been reversed but you would need wiring diagrams for both looms to trace it i supposed without overthinking it you could have a problem with the igniton barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I did slot of research before doing the conversation for this reason and I've been told that the only thing I have to change on the looms is the lights front and back and the door looms everything else is plug and play. I think I might have blown a relay as I don't know which ones they go into my own fault should of taken pictures and the barrel I've been told will be faulty and easiest was to solve this is install a start button. Do you recon I should get the barrel from the polo?? Thanks guys appreciate all the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 ignition is all the same. simply put, you're putting 12v to the red/black exciter wire on the starter somehow. trace it back and see where it is crossed. as for the loom situation, the best way I have seen this done is the guy who split off the polo engine/light harness and swapped three wires or so to male the polo engine loom compatible with the rest of the lupo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Awesome mate thank you means a lot I'll crack on with that today and see what I can find mate What about the no spark situation?? Any advice on that pal?? You've been very helpful thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 was the engine running before you fitted it?,check for fault codes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtisvdubber Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Alright pal yeah didn't expect it to be all simple but so confused as to why it turns over when ignition is on and why I have no spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 if it is constantly cranking you don't want spark! that would kill the starter motor. one problem at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I know I wouldn't try start it if it had spark and was still tuning over like this I'm just wondering if you know why I have no spark mate?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 that comes after the cranking problem. find the constant 12v first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobieus_uk Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 if the igniton is backwards then you will get a constant voltage to the starter motor until you turn the key off, the no spark could still be related to the igntion barrel/loom, its the only place where those 2 circuits could meet, personally i would start there but to be fair it could be anywere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Right awesome ill have a look thank you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Right mate I've compared the 2 plugs that go into the back of the barrel from the lupo loom and the polo loom and they are the same buddy so it can't be that :(( so that's one thing off the list to check and more idea Nate??

Rich Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 trace the red black wire back to the multi plug. then we are going to go into the realms of 'hotwiring' to diagnose the ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 by multi plug I mean the coloured ones where the looms meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtisvdubber Posted March 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Okay mate so follow the red/black wire back from pin 50 on the plug to behind the barrel follow it to the part all the loom meets then follow it back to the starter motor correct? If not I don't know what you means sorry not the most intelligent person going and if I'm right what next mate?? Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm wondering if perhaps the 'ignition on' 12v feed from the ig switch is crossed over with the 'starter motor' feed? I think i'm understanding the problem right- ig switch on causes cranking, but turning ig switch to crank stops the cranking, but ignition stays on? OR, is it that once the engine is turning, a signal from the ecu is causing another feed to go high (+12v). A bit like when the fuel pump feed goes high when you crank, and it keeps the fuel pump feed going so long as the engine is turning (determined by the crank sensor). I'm trying to understand the problem better... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
