Oh good, excuse my scepticism. Assuming you have a link branded exp cable, your yellow wire (PIN7) going to expansion port 1 is an output, not an input. Just going by what the software says.

 

Would hate someone to find incomplete information. Unless of course, the hardware has changed from whatever vipec you have to whatever the current link is.

Yellow goes to temp 2

From PCLink help

 

Pin 1 = Green (Sensor Gnd)

Pin 2 = Red (5v)

Pin 3 = Grey

Pin 4 = Brown

Pin 5 = White

Pin 6 = Blue

Pin 7 = Yellow

Pin 8 = Orange

Yellow goes to temp 2 witch is a input.

Yes, for the current spec link plug ins tho, as you can see there are 2 exp ports, with only exp 2 having temp inputs.

The lay out of mine is expansion connector 2 on the chart you posted so it is correct.

Just wounding if anyone know if you have to have a specific oil sensor to work with the vi-pec or if any 5v sender will do the job?

I bought one from Link for about $150 but in hindsight I should probably have bought a $30 one. At the time (about 6 years ago) there were a lot of $150-$200 ones on ebay but now there seem to be none which suggests that people have realised the cheaper ones work fine.

Funny you should mention that. I recently got 2 x $30 jobbies, both duds.

 

Ended up getting a $120 one that is ethanol compatible (was for fuel pressure).

 

You can get Honeywell sensors for ~$60
