April 25, 200718 yr Yes, the large end is a standard plug for a 120 volt wall socket you would find in your livingroom. It was on my old, dead EJ22. One end was at the bottom of the oil dipstic tube, the other by the flywheel window at the top of the tranny. I took it off last November and don't remember if it was connected to anything.
April 25, 200718 yr that's the limited production electrically assisted prototype EJ22. for real. it's probably an engine block heater or a mechanism for charging the battery.
April 25, 200718 yr It is the power cord to your installed block heater. I have one too. If you are in a particularly cold climate, plugging that into 120VAC at night will keep teh coolant from freezing, which would damage your engine. That block heater is also part of the "cold weather package".
April 25, 200718 yr Author Where is the heating device located at? Since I installed a different engine do I have to remove the heater from the old one????
April 25, 200718 yr Where is the heating device located at? Since I installed a different engine do I have to remove the heater from the old one???? It came with the cold weather package, If you have never used it before, you dont need to reinstall it. nipper PS unless you got the 20 mile extension cord option. Ever wonder why the spare tire well is so big? hehehehe
April 26, 200718 yr Author I found the heater thingy. It's underneath the engine, between the driver side exhaust and the oil pan. It screws into the block. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
April 26, 200718 yr ahhh the wonders of the engine block heater i wouldn't try to take that out if i were you... because to get it in there in the 1st place is a pain in the arse (as per the original coolant plug not coming out.) if you plan on using it, you may want to clean out the contacts on the plug part (attached to the motor), and then plug it in, and rout the wire up through, and never un-plug it again... so you don't get crap built up in the connection. Block heaters are awesome for arctic weather, and your car will thank you for it
April 26, 200718 yr He lives in california, why does he need a block heater. I don't use a block heater even when it gets to -40C at times and my engine starts like normal.

April 27, 200718 yr i installed a block heater just so i don't have to listen to the piston slap when it get below 30º
