Plugs need homes
Hi guys
I have been having a migraine with these wires in the engine bay. We have just swapped a gr engine for a gpx and then we put wiring loom in but the biggest issue is that can't figure out where the MAP sensor plugs into whether it is behind the manifold or not. I also have 3 extra plugs that have no homes to go to and no idea where they go.
At the moment I am thinking the 3 extra plugs do nothing. I will upload pictures later tonight

MAP is bolted by a 10mm bolt to the firewall behind the intake manifold.
As for 3 plugs, dartboard says you got an auto loom instead of a manual.

Thanks Dan.
Does it make too much a difference with the auto loom instead of manual. If I don't plugs the plugs in will it be ok?

Need to bridge two wires to trick it into thinking it's in P all the time so you can start it, if it really is an auto loom.

Re: Plugs need homes
Which plug do I need to bridge? I got duped to thinking I got a manual loom and now trying to start the car realize it's an auto

Re: Plugs need homes
Sensor near throttle body is an wps sensor
2 smaller plugs are auto gearbox input / output sensor
Bigger sized plug gearbox solenoid connector
Medium sized plug inhibitor switch.

Re: Plugs need homes
I have ripped my whole dash apart to try again and got my hands on a manual loom now. The frustrations.
