So over the last couple weeks I've been removing the emissions crap from my engine while getting my injectors cleaned and exhaust and rtek ordered. Besides the engine being really dirty it hasn't been so bad.

That said, there are some broken plugs in there.

Should I be worried about these? This first one the PO said was simply the wire from unhooking the AWS; at the time I took his word for it, but when I was removing the AWS and putting the blockoff plate on I didn't see a wire that would plug into it anywhere.



This next one I noticed after shipping my injectors off to KGparts for cleaning. Looks like an injector plug with about 1/2 of one of the wires remaining



And finally the wire to the thermostat, blurry picture but it is pretty frayed and I'm worried about it splitting the rest of the way.



So, is that first one actually not needed? Can I remove the plug to get rid of any confusion in the future? For the other two, how should I go about repairing them? Also, the plastic side on one of my injector plugs was broken, the clip still fit around it though. Where can I get a replacement, or should I not worry about it? Mazdatrix doesn't carry it.

Finally, not electric but while getting supporting mods (720 secondaries, Rtek, ported wastegate) for the bigger exhaust, I got a Walbro 255 out of the 2nd gen classifieds. I assumed because of where it was being sold it was for the FC, but when I got it in I checked the part number and it is for Camaros (F20000169). Is a pump a pump or do I need to sell it and get the GSS340/1?

Sorry for all the questions and long post, just trying to get everything sorted out by the time the Rtek arrives.

 

Ok I found I can get new injector clips from Autozone, makes that easy. Still not sure what to do with that first plug that was unplugged, can I just remove it?

 

it looks like the first plug might go to the BAC? did you remove the BAC?

 

No, I removed everything but the BAC. I want my car to adjust when I turn the AC on. Prior to removing the emissions stuff it hadn't been idling correctly for the last month or two, I would have to keep on the gas a little to keep it from stalling. This only happened sometimes though, about 60% of the time it would be fine and 40% it would stall if I let it idle by itself. For the first 3-4 months I had the car it idled right around 750-800 fine though; I figured something had just gotten out of adjustment.

 

im pretty sure that clip goes to the bac...either that or the thermoswitch on the back of the waterpump housing but that one is usually green...

unless its an injector connector.

it has 2 wires going to it right?

 

yeah im thinking thats one of the injector type clips that is used for the thermoswitch on waterpump housing

 

Here I took some more pictures today.

It does have two wires going into it, and it is coming out of the same wire bundle as the O2 sensor (thats the green one by my pinky)


I also took a closer look at the other plug I posted (the one with one of the two wires completely broken off) and it is not an injector plug at all. The part it plugs in to is on the firewall side of the LIM/UIM area. Not sure what its for, just know that its broken.


Also while under the hood I found a rod coming up near the upper radiator hose with a pin in the top of it. It was not connected to anything and was very loose. I could move it back and forth but it would not pull out and I didn't want to yank on it and risk damaging anything.


This is a closeup of the pin on top of the rod.




And finally one last issue/question.
This plug is over by where the throttle body would be if the UIM was on. The wire has been pulled out of the connector by the looks of it.


This wire is near it, in the bundle with the plug that goes on the TB elbow. It looks like it has been pulled out of a plug. Putting two and two together it would seem this is supposed to be plugged in the above plug. Is that right or am I missing more plugs/wires somewhere?

 

the first picture is for the THERMOSWITCH it has the same kind of plug as the injectors do but it is NOT an for the injectors

 

The rod is for the OMP (Oil Metering Pump), it connects to the throttle body linkage.

 

throttle body Blah,blah Pic.That connector is for the o2 sensor.
