February 9, 200620 yr Well now that it runs (barely), its time to start working on the many reason why is barely runs. First off, in my hard researching of the nonturbo spyder intake I have, I have found out that the nonturbo'd spyders came wihtout a knock sensor. So today I decided to pull apart my stock nonspyder intake wiring harness I have to see which pin I have to pull to make the knock sensor work with my new intake. Turns out, there are two wires that go into one for the knock sensor right next to the large white intake harness connector. It looks like someone might have rigged it to work but it also looks like it could have been done at the factory but in a real $hitty way. One wire is white, which from my electrical diagrams, is the correct wire for the knock sensor and the other one is black and been spliced into the white wire. From what I have heard, the '86s came with a two wire knock sensor. Could this intake have been from an '86 and made to work with my '89? Next, I removed a part from my intake that had a burden on my intake outlet on my TD04. It has 2 wires going to it and has two larger hoses going to it as well. One hose appears to be coming from the PCV valve on the side of the intake. This part is NOT on my nonspyder intake! It is about 3/4" think, round and standing straight up, aboutn2" in diameter, and the hoses come into the top on either side. The electrical connector is right below one of the hose inlets. Also has a nut that has a tamper resistant mold over it. Anyone know what it might be? I don't have a digital camera right now so I can't snap a pic of it.

February 9, 200620 yr Author well I was meaning my original nonspyder intake. COuld it have been made to work with my '89? I know they didn't start with the spyder intakes until '87.5
February 13, 200620 yr While on the subject of Spyder Intakes..... I'll throw in a Hijack.... How many Pins does the throttle position sensor and the throttle switch have. The vortex wiring diagram i have shows a 4 pin connector for the TPS and TS combined How is this connected compared to the turbo normal intake with the 3pin TPS and 3pin TS Cheers Gannon
