I can't believe how much smoother and faster my ea82t XT accelerates after I replaced the CTS wiring. Now the car has uniform acceleration, passengers don't get pushed forward and backward around while shifting now. It's stupid how much better the car drives after replacing this 2 wire connector and about 10 inches of flaky, corroded on the inside 80's wire.

 

All I did was buy a Bosch fuel injector repair connector, Dorman/Motormite part number 85850. The Coolant temp sensor uses this connector. I cut into the original CTS wiring which was corroded on the inside near the original connector, I soldered and heatshrinked the new wiring and connector in, put dielectric grease in the connector and CTS. Very EAsy! I highly recommend doing this if the CTS wiring is original like mine was. The P.O of my car replaced the sensor because it flashed a code, but didn't replace the wiring.

 

This is what I bought to fix my CTS issue. It's a bosch fuel injector repair connector with maybe 10 inches of wire attached, same connector the CTS uses.

 

This XT runs and drives like a new car now! Idle is still at 1200, eventually I'll find the cause of the fast idle but for now I don't care. 8)

good to know, since that connector of mine is broken, and the wiring is probably crappy too.

You can adjust the idle using the recessed screw on the throttle body
