I remember it being idiot proof and not allowing me to connect to any other one but I might be wrong. ideas? so far from what i've read heat gun ceck on thermostat temp confirm its overheating. do a pressure test on cooling system see if im loosing coolant which im not maybe im loosing very little. | | | 08-27-2014, 08:36 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2014 Location: Southern California Posts: 25 | have you performed a test for combustion gasses in cooling system? | | | 08-28-2014, 02:33 AM | #4 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: miami, fl Posts: 16 | no, I have not done a test for gasses in the coolant. I just got from harbor freight compression tool. but what i am concerned anyone has a wiring picture on the lower intake manifold harness were the engine temp sensor plugs into. I wanted to check if I had plugged them correctly I have the bentley and oem parts nothing shows correct wiring of those plugs. | | | 08-29-2014, 01:32 AM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2013 Location: miami, fl Posts: 16 | checked compression 100 all around. added pictures on my gallery of the harness i need help with. also the capping of air from idle control and injectors. has anyone used a e30 m42 intake manifold swap? sorry im all over the place. also I have used the return hose for the heat plate and connected straight to the out flow from engine side. capped pcv and cleaned manifold and injectors of all the gunk from 19 years of neglect. nothing listed can make the engine over heat so...
