mpfi wiring

[redcrx]

I did the mpfi swap and it only took me 17 hours non-stop all by myself.
my question is this:
for the shielded wires going to the cylinder position sensor in the distributor, how do I shield them?

I looked high and low for "shielded" wire. Jc whitney, summit, kragen, autozone... nothing. what will work?
can I use wire loom?
cost is not a problem, I'm going for being able to drive my car!

Just got to radio shack or anywhere else that has RCA cables. Cut the ends of that so you can attach wire, and you are good to go. It doesnt cost very much either.

I never shielded my wires, and I have no problems. Just make sure that you don't have anything that is really high power next to them, like amp power cables or driving light wires. Mine have never given me a problem and they are just regular wires wrapped in electrical tape.

You should just pick up the shielded wires so you know you wont have any problems. I know from experience that sheiled wire are needed. I couldnt figure out why the car wasnt running right until I search around forever and finally found somebody that shielded their wires too. It seems like most people are shielding them now too.

I had a cut GSR engine harness and a cut ZC engine harness laying around, I took a couple of shielded sections from those harnesses and linked them together. I only ran shieled wire from the CPS to the plug that I put on the driver side shock tower and I grounded the shield to the bolt that hold the resistor box down. From there, the two CPS wires and the two new injector wires run from that plug along the firewall and in through the gromet where the A/C lines enter the heater core. I don't seem to have any issues, with the exception of a stumble at WOT, which I adjusted my dizzy a little last night and that corrected it some. I used a good quality Rockford Fosgate speaker wire for mine and they were encased in their own loom. Umm, I know you can buy 4 conductor shielded security wire at Home Depot, but it is only 22ga. I suppose you could use two conductors together for one wire and two conductors for the other one....just a thought. Good luck!!
