Hey guys,
Engine back in the car tonight and I must of lost 3 of my labels. All three are 3 pin obd1 connectors in the engine bay on the intake side. There is one thick coating long one, one thick casing shorter one, then one is a very thin are that Is the same length as the short thick one. One is iac, then crank pos. Then tps. Please help me figure out which is which.


Thanks,
Joe

We cant help you when all you say is "thick long one, thick short one, thin one"

If you want help, pictures are worth a thousand words :thumbup:

All 3 have different lengths and cable memory. They should only naturally drape into the correct places.

It's been sitting tied off for so long they just sit. I tried to attach a pic...I'm not asking to just guess. Two of the casings are the thickest kind that come from that side engine block harness. One is 1/3 the diameter. The small dia one and one of the thick ones are exact same length. One goes to the iac, one goes to tps one goes to crank pos.

Peel back the boots and look at the wires, wiring colors are as follows:

Throttle position sensor
BRN
BRN/BLK
RED/YEL



Idle control valve
WHT/YEL
RED/WHT
WHT/GRN

Crank position sensor is the thinner cable, as its shielded.
