another WTF are these cables thread

[Inygknok]

Yeah yeah yeah....... why didn't I use the other thread? Cuz I know people were going to think that it was over with (hehe).


Anyhow, help me out here a bit, and this time I didn't forget to upload the pics first. I need to know wtf are these cables for (again, and these are stock ones).

The green one to the left is not the knock sensor one (but they sure look alike eh?). I was guessing it was for the A/C compressor, but it's not at my house so I can't check. Now the one to the right............... I have no damn idea what it's for, I didn't label it either.

It looks like the wires that connect to the cam position sensor. My reason because the other connector connects to the one of the Thermostat housing sensors.

If not there.. It should connect to the battery sub harnesses ova to the right of the alternator.

Don't quote me on this but it really looks like it goes to the cps.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

That one is a not for the cps.
If the wire is shielded it is for the knock sensor.

knock sensor and abs(speed sensor) to the tranny

 

[Inygknok]

It's not the CPS cuz the shot is from the driver's side of the engine............ and the cable doesn't reach all the way over there. Plus, my CPS is already connected and so is the knock sensor (which I'm betting is that knob thing near the 2nd cylinder). now, all the way back to about the 5th cylinder, there is another "knob" like thing attached to the block. In fact, it's right in front of the starter motor. I don't have a pic as I thought someone would recognize it, and it's dark out now.

Still, I didn't check if there were any plugs unchecked to for the tranny, that's a good one (odd, I don't even remember taking out any plugs from it in the first place).

Like I said before, I already have the knock sensor connected, hence why the plug looks like the knock sensor one. They are a bit different (I'll take a pic tomorrow to show ya), but it's not. Man I hate electrical stuff.......

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

There are TWO knock sensors on the gte.

 

[Inygknok]

And one of them isn't plugged in........ and I think I know which cable goes there.................. the one that kept looking at me.........

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

lol

 

[Inygknok]

JAV, you were right on the plug to the right. It was for the tranny. Now, I do have one very odd problem. I can't find the plug for the second knock sensor (the one at the rear) anywhere!

Any idea how it should look like? I've tried checking out any other plugs that I found disconnected, but they were just the one for the starter and the ones from the cruise control that I removed. Aside from those, the rest were extended to the front and other side of the engine.

Is the sensor broken off?

No it's not. Give me 10 minutes while I go downstairs and take a good picture. It's a bit uncomfortable with the lower part of the intake manifold on, and I don't feel like carrying the tool box

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

You looked at the link right?

 

[Inygknok]

Yeah I did. Here's 2 pictures. They look a bit blurry cuz the sony camera doesn't like close-up stuff. It won't focus right on them. What I did notice is that the sensor looks a bit odd inside... dunno if it's just me.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Broken.
I don't have pic of a good one but that's broken.

 

[Inygknok]

Damn............ how much $$$ for a new one?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

No idea.
Never had to buy one. I'm sure someone has one you can use.

 

[Inygknok]

Oh well, guess I'll deal with that tomorrow. I'll either watch Saun of the Dead now or start my "Average Joe" Build Up thread..............
