Starter motor connectors

My old starter motor seems to have one more connector (pics soon). Is this something to do with Klockwork Jet fuel injection? Fifth injector? If so, what do I do about it?

Alrighty.

The offending terminal can bee seen here:

It forks into 2. One side goes towards the engine block, forks again, and seems to go to 2 points on the engine.


The other side goes to this chap:

yep the other feed is pin 15a for the 5th injector. you can tap it to a cranking feed if you disable the cold throttle enrichment valve if fitted (metal cylinder on the rear of the airbox) or fit a diode in the wire to prevent the cold throttle system engaging the starter motor whenever you boot it ;)

for an easy life just buy a corrado 1.8 16v starter motor, it'll swap right over and has the spade connections you need

Does this mean I just need a diode, then I can attach the spare wire to the main positive terminal?
