Hello all,

I had a fire on my 88 T2 and the (2) wire harness have been destroyed. The passenger-side donor harness I have, also has fire damage around the injector connectors. Wires in this area have been cooked and are a bit brittle. I am running this car with no emissions or oil injection systems. My question is can I repair this partially cooked harness, can I build my own, or should I just find one in better shape?

Thx, Paul Rajchel

I think the easy way is to just find a used one.

 

sorry for the double post but... was the pulsation dampener the culprit for the engine fire ?

 

yeah ditto I am woundering if I should change that thing out seeing as how everyones engins are catching on fire

 

just check it, stick your finger over it while the engines on

 

I'd replace the bad wires. Shorts and corrosion will cause all sorts of problems. Buy some marine quality wires and fix them. Make sure you solder them if you know how.
Finding a good condition wiring harness will be hard. Most will be hacked up and you'd have to inspect the wires if there are any bare wires exposed. Marine quality wires are corrosion resistant and have thicker insulation.

 

paul I have a 88t2 wiring harness for 150 if you want it. I was going to sell it with the ecu as a package but if you need it drop me a email at sean1_54@yahoo.com
