Are these check connectors?

I have some pretty crummy wiring diagrams here, but I'm pretty sure these are just check connectors, and can be removed? Coming up behind D/S strut tower.

What year are they from, and they are too big for check connectors.

Yes - those are EA82 check connectors. Just leave them. Might come in handy for tracing wiring one day. I never remove the check connectors on my FI installs. I did that a few times back on some of my early installs and it was a bad move.

 

The giveaway is that they are right next to the test and read connectors and are the same length. That is the hallmark of the check connectors. That and I recognize them.....

AH, man that is something i have forgotten so much about.

those green and white connectors are supposed to be unplugged all the time. they only plug in for code retrieval procedures.

 

If your car idles funny and wont rev out, and the fuel pump clicks on and off, that is why.

Ah i feel better, I thoughthe meant the brown and black..

 

 

now stupid less am i

OK, I forgot to mention that this is an EJ swap. I am trying to pare down the factory wiring, so I can fit the EJ harness through the two grommets.

So, more specifically, the black and yellow connectors. I know what the green and white are for.

The brown and black connecotors are for hecking continuity in the harness itself per the FSM diagrams, things like wiper and headlight circuit, etc, on the body of the car itself.

Cool, mine are yellow and black (93)

Trying to figure out how in heck I'm supposed to get enough room to fit the EJ stuff through. Not even sure how to get the connectors on the harness through - are people just cutting the grommets open, and then RTV ing them back together?
