That being said i have identified the 4 connectors and how they plug to the wiring harness for the cam & and knock sensors in the proper locations however there are several i do not have a way of identifying the following connectors are on the engine but how do i ID the proper connector on the wiring harness for that sensor ? there is an oil sensor under the oil filter, an air intake control plug a throttle body control plug and 2 sensors located on the head under the air intake manifold i believe one is a temp sensor. any visual reference of the wiring harness with plug listings would be great. |
Suggest taking a few pics of the connectors in question and posting. I'll cross check them on my 95 M42.
