Crispy Fuel Injector Wires
Okay, so maybe I am being paranoid, but this is killing me, and I do not want it to cost me an engine.
I am in the process of upgrading my secondaries to 1600's. Anyways, I was solderring in the the new fuel injector clips, and noticed that the fuel injector wires were very brittle. One of them even snapped a couple of times as I tried to solder the new connection in.
I finally got all of the wires soldered in, but I am afraid that they are going to snap. I do not want to spring $700 for a new harness, so I was wondering, Can I just run new wires, and tap into the harness where it connects to the PFC? Has anyone sucessfully pulled this off?
Thanks

You can just trace the wires back - most times they aren't damaged the WHOLE way, just for a short section that's under the intake manifold that takes the heat.
Also, it's typically just the wiring insulation that cracks, not the wire itself.

The wires themselves, (not the sleeves) do feel very brittle. I think worst case scenario I will do as Dale suggested, and just dig down till I get to a point where the wire is no longer brittle, and solder from there.
