engine harness is falling apart
engine harness is falling apart
i want to get a new harness from mazda but its like $1800. that way too much. what can i do? i have the apex pfc and im thinking about going with a different computer like, AEM or Haltech. or something that come with a harness. what should i do.
I think when you buy the PFC, it gives you a harness to help plug into the factory harness. IF you are saying that your actual engine harness is damaged, i don't think getting the power FC will help out. And i had no clue that the factory harness was so much $$$
i'd consider calling a junk yard or something.

The PFC does not come with an adapter harness...it has the same connectors as the stock ECU, so it just plugs right in.
As for the stock harness, I just got a good look at mine a couple of weeks ago when I replaced my engine. DAMN! I can't believe my car actually runs with that crispy, degraded stock harness. One of the connectors actually fell off while I was swapping it over to the new engine! I think there is something very positive to be said for the engine management systems that make you replace your harness. Sure it's more of a pain in the ***, but I feel uncomfortable now having seen what my stock harness is like after 120,000 miles.

the reason why i want a new harness is because when i was putting my engine back together 3 month ago, i notice the harness was starting to crack, so i tape it up and hope that the end of the problem. it was fine for about 3 months. now i notice the my air temp jump up and down, and when this happens i notice a lost in power. im going single turbo soon and i think that will be a good time the replace the harness too. i dont want to blow my motor due to a short.
