Hey guys, i have a question about what to do with the wiring harness after I have eliminated some of my emmisions like the ACV, and a couple others that I can't remember their names atm. Anyways, now that I have those things removed do I need to do anything with the wiring harness or do I just leave the plugs hanging? Also if it helps I have a Power FC. Thanks

 

Hell, just leave the wires hanging. Or zip tie them out of the way, right?

 

So there isn't any reason why they would have to be cut off or have resistors put on them so that the ECU doesn't think some crazy **** is goin' down? If I don't have to then I will just tie them out of the way.

 

What kind of ECU do you have?

 

Power FC with commander

 

My car is non seq and no emissions with a Power FC .I pulled the wiring out unwrapped it and cut all the unused wires about 6 inches fron the computor .I replaced all the hard brittle wires and replaced most of the connectors with GM Weather packs .Rewrapped and put it in split wire wrap, black ,Then mounted the harness over the engine on a SS sheet metal frame to hold it in place and keep it looking good . No problems in several years of use .

 

I can tell you that if you attempt to sell that harness for any reason, it will be worth substantially less if you've hacked it. Of course if it's already old and crispy this isn't any big deal, but I can tell you if you paid over $750 for the new one it has some meaning.

I'd wrap the extra connectors in silicone self-fusing tape if it's not too inconvenient. You just never know what your next buy or sell will be.

I removed a few.

I took them out of the harness without cutting them in case I needed to put them back in or changed my mind, like I have a habit of doing.

 

off topic but would you happen to have the one that goes to the igniter? for some reaosn mine is cut and i don't have it...

 

anyone have a good picture of a non simplified and simplified harness side by side. im wanting to yank my emmisions and seq stuff and go single or non seq just cause i hate the clutterd look
