Unplugged Wires Under Hood? Driver side?

Featured Replies

Can anyone tell me what these bundles of wires go to and why are they are not connected to anything? Some thing I have been curious about since I bought the car.

Plug the green ones together when you set your timing

 

I plug the other whites ones together too... dumb thing is the check engine light is supposed to come one but mine never does at idle... so i take my timing light for a drive with me until it does comes on...

 

Other than that primarily you will notice the timing line move by plugging and unplugging the green one at idle... lol! ;)

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Just starting tune the car up after driving all winter and was unsure what those wires went to. Currently trying to pin point why my AC clutch will not engage and what cause my heater to blow inconsistent air temperature all winter. Thinking about a coolant system flush and blow out the heater core. Also need to check the AC refrigerant pressure, I think i may be low as the car has never had AC since I bought it and the sensor that in in the plate above the compressor clutch was unbolted when I bought the car.

 

Any other suggestions on tune up maintenance is appreciated. Car had 185k

 

Thank you.

There are 2 capsule plugs .. maybe if previous owner didn't cut them those are for the compressor and the sensor needs reinstalled that will enable the clutch...

 

I would suggest getting a new radiator and a OEM thermostat the AutoZone etc are bad to ise.. they slow the flow.

Thete is a whole procedure to follow using those connectors. One for read memory, another for clear memory.
