repairing the injector harness
 
Ok , so I have a question about repairing a broken injector wire , the wire by the connector seems to of broken ,


I was going to solder an extension to make it not as tense and give it some slack that it doesnt have now , but I was told I should NOT solder injector wires that I should use crimps instead because solder causes resistance ? or intereference ?

is there any truth to this ?

If soldered correctly it is better and a more reliable connection.

With the wires tightly wrapped, and a clean layer of solder applied, I can't see it causing more resistance.

If your harness is getting that brittle, it may be time to bite the bullet and replace with a new one, or Rywire's single harness depending on your mods.
