How hard to hook up everything?

Ok, while pulling my engine I completely forgot to mark **** before unplugging. Has anybody ever done this? How hard is it going to be to hook everything up right. I know it was kind of dumb being my first time. I just wanted to know how hard and how much of a pain in the *** it will be?

basically, it all hooks up to one place and that's it.

Normally as well, the wires have a tendency to "form" themselves to where they were laid originally, and will pretty much lay back to where they were originally.

If in doubt, look for engine bay pictures, take pictures, and look at a wiring diagram.

Not as bad as you might think.

The harness pretty much puts all plugs in the vicinity of the things they are suposed to plug into.

In short, you'll figure it out.

Ight, thanks. I thought I was going to be in for a long few nights just with the wiring.

Download the 84/5 FSM, makes life less frustrating. The nice thing about the Mazda harness is most things can only plug in one place, except the ignition and rats nest solinoids.
