Mystery connectors . . . HELP!

Just wondering what these two connectors are, i'm in the process of stripping my engine harness of all emissions and seq. stuff. I thought I had marked all unused connectors before I disassembled, but I think i missed these two I want to make sure though before I cut them off.

Also, does anyone have a good picture of a complete engine harness with all connectors visible? If so I'd like to work with you guys to mark all connectors so that someone wanting to do the same as me can remove the pieces they don't need before rewrapping their harness (I am getting rid of pretty much everything, others may not want to be so extreme).

Thanks for any help.

The green on is the fuel temp sensor that is mounted on the stock sesondary rail. The black on is for the Turbo control solenoid mounted on top of the air control valve, which is on the inside of the lower intake manifold. You will not neeed either if you are running an secondary fuel rail, as the ACV and the fuel temp sensor are deleted.

thanks for the quick reply


couple more questions though, where would I be able to buy just connectors with pigtails? I need one for the thermoswitch. If not I'll just buy the miata one and crimp on a female lug connector, but it would be nice to replace all my brittle connectors before I rewrap the harness.

I do not know where the pigtails can be purchased. I either get them from some used /destroyed harnesses that we have laying around, or you can make a trip to the junkyard and sift through the imports for the connectors you need. You will want to take the part or the old connector with you to ensure you have th proper connection.

As for your other post w/picture, that plugs into the receiver-dryer. It is a soda can sized object that the hard pipe end, on the item in the picture, plumbs into the top of. The receiver-dryer the bolts to the cross brace, on the drivers side right in front of the stock battery location, that also has the hood latch mounted to it.

Yeah, that AC connector connects under and around the battery tray.

I've yet to find a good replacement source for connectors - would REALLY like to, though.

thanks for the help guys

I've cut many connectors off my harness and none match the thermoswitch. Looks like its miata thermoswitch time.
