Well, I started today on what I thought was going to be a tedious but definitely do-able task...replacing the wiring harness. After spending most of the afternoon taking it (underhood stuff) all apart, I want to give up. This damn thing is complicated!

This is where this post will hopefully come in handy...

I need to know if there is anything i should fix or replace while the UIM, TB, Intake etc. is off. The engine is about 12000 miles old and the rats nest looks/feels like it is in good shape.

Any ideas?

 

Make sure you don't have fuel leaks. If you do then this would be an ideal time to replace them. You also want to install the fuel hose update (recall) if it hasn't been done already.
