Re: Connector

With his luck it will probably be on the PCM feed side of the connector. But if it is the side to the ICM/Coil Packs/CKPS I wouldn't mess with just the connector. He could replace the complete Y wiring harness with connector intact. I see it only goes to the ICM/Coil Pack connector and the crank position sensor, therefore can be replaced in its entirety.

BTW - Something had to cause the wiring damage unless he did it accidently or unknowingly.

Sounds like a trip to the boneyard would be a lot cheaper to me.

Note: That Y wiring harness has the infamous single ground wire that connects to ground on the ICM/Coil Pack module.

Do you have a better pic showing the damage?

Where exactly is the damaged orange/black wire and how bad? Is it right at the connector or where the wiring comes in/out of the connector? You may be able to field fix it by repairing just the damaged portion of the wire.

Also, have you disconnected the connector and inspected for any damage, arcing at all pins? The connector has a safety tab that has to be removed first. I just cut mine off and trash it.

How much of the orange/black wire coming out of the connector is undamaged or is it damaged right up to where it inserts into the connector?

It is hard to say on the connector but you can dismantle it and possibly splice in a similar grade wire (range of 18 - 24 AWG). Either way when you get the new connector it will be a PITA. Instead of just one wire you will need to connect 7. Of the 8 pins, 7 are used.

I see you are in Dallas so the humidity will probably be bad. I'm in El Paso and we hit over 100 a few weeks ago but our humidity is 20% or less. Have fun and good luck.
