Confusion
« on: May 28 2012, 03:20:01 PM »
Hey guys, Im in the process of splicing this new ECM harness into the car, and I found a tan wire on B12.  Im confused b/c the diagram that came with the harness is showing a yellow wire at that location.  Steve's site is showing a blk/wht wire at that location.  both showing injector 5, but the diagram i have is showing injector 5 with a "G." Why is there a tan wire at B12 right now oppose to either blk/wht or yellow?  and, which diagram should i follow?

I think it is an error in the shop manual....try the diagram on the above link...it shows tan

It may be an 86 is different from an 87?  I really don't know, but, I have seen errors in the manual before.   on the above link, it changes color at the injector connector, I think

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Yeah, the colors are defnitely changing.  That's very odd.  :icon_confused:  Ok, so i can go ahead and continue to follow the diagram from Casper's.  I just want to be sure before i go forth and screw something else up.  Just my luck i cross the wrong wires.  I guess i could just splice pos to pos and dont worry about color?  Meaning, take B12 in the car and connect it straight to b12 thats on the new harness...?
