JRToy4x4 Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I have a black wire coming off a little black box next to the ignition coil that seems to have both sides of a white plug on the end of it. I feel like there should be a loose wire somewhere in that I can reunite with it. Any idea of where the other side of this connection is and what color it is?

techboy Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I'd have to check my car, but I believe that connects to a ground over by where the EGR is typically mounted. EDIT - i was almost right. The one end comes from the resistor that mounts next to the ignitor box, the other end grounds to a mounting bolt under the ignitor box. According to your first pic you are missing the ground end.

tux Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I thought one end was attached to the coil and that capacitor is used as a noise filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted April 24 Report Share Posted April 24 That's for the ignition coil noise filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRToy4x4 Posted April 25 Author Report Share Posted April 25 Thanks! I checked the ignitor box mounting screws and don't see another end. I swapped in an 88-89 unit about a year ago and probably lost it then. So it sounds safe to just make my own setup and ground this back to the ignitor box?

techboy Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 This is a pic I took of my car today. You can see the one end is connected to the noise filter or resistor or whatever the hack that thing is, the other end just has a ringlet on it that is grounded to the bolt under the ignitor box. I could have got my phone more underneath for a better pic, but you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
