Split Air Bypass Solenoid (as part of PowerFC install)

Hello!

I am checking the 4 connections that need to be removed to install a PowerFC in a 94 FD, Cali car (so it's got all the emissions things you could ever want)

The harness is out of the car so I have free reign but I cannot find the Split Air Bypass solenoid referred to in Dale Clark's PowerFC FAQ.
The way I am looking is by finding wire continuity.

Here are where I have looked

---The light blue and grey solenoid connectors (part of the 8 of the rats nest)

---The IAC connector

---The 2 black and 1 white connector for the ACV

Here are the pictures in order of the above list.











I have confirmed the EGR switch and solenoid, AWS solenoid and now its just the Split Air.

I have a spare harness that I also checked but it does not have a ACV or EGR so I'm not sure if it even has a Split Air (though the wire is there in the ECU plug...).
So... either the Split Air Bypass connections is one of the ones I've checked and the connection is bad. Or I'm in the wrong place.

Thanks for the help!

Solved it!

Went through the Wiring Diagram more carefully (and finally figured out how to read the damn thing).

It's one of the ACV connectors I already checked. The contacts might've been a little dirty because I had to really rub the meter prob into the connector contact to finally get continuity.

Here's the picture from the wiring diagram.

And from the 3 ACV connectors, it's the white one.
