EJ22 automatic inhibitor switches ?
bugdv8 - July 29th, 2006 at 12:04 AM

i have a ej22 fitted to a manx.
it came from an automatic.
i have fitted the complete wiring loom from the subaru including the dash and both fuse boxes.the car is now in a manual, so there are no inhibitor switches anmore.

how should the inhibitor switches be hooked up. ( bypassed ) at the ecu

1 : do i make it so the ecu thinks it always in neutral .( would this effect the ecu as it will be getting a speed signal from the dash however the ecu will be expecting the car to be in drive ) will this cause errors ?

2 : or do i make it so every time the clutch is in its in neutral and when i let the clutch out its in drive ? so the ecu sees it in drive when there are speed signals from the speed sensor
( will this effect the idle valve ? does the ecu increase the revs when in drive ?)


any help will be greatly appreciated

my ej25 is the same. it came out of an auto too. just hook the inhibitor wires together so it thinks it's in drive all the time. that's how mine is setup. otherwise you won't be able to start it without the clutch in.

And we don't particularly like it. I hate having to start my wife's Toyota with a dry thrust bearing carrying load.

It's in a MANX...Looks great as well. Conversion and barwork etc is well done!!

cool, have you got any pics Bug-dv8?

Should go real well with the EJ22. Once that's installed you'll be reader for the heater. Right mick.:smilegrin:

Heaters are for sooks.He's a Pom living in the tropics....i hardly think he would need a heater and he's not a sook......although Mark did laugh at me when i said i was putting airconditioning in....

Well not really, That will be next on my list. Knowing my luck, I'll get it finished for the end of Summer just like I had the heater finished at the end of winter. What dash unit are you using Mick?
