Mouse ate Injector connections.

Hello guys. My car has a few problems, one of them being that a mouse chewed a bunch of wires beneath the hood. I checked the FSMs but I can't pin down what they are/do. Could you guys help me identify them?

They are on the drivers side of the intake.

The top one is the BAC - Bypass Air Control Valve - has a coolant hose running in one side and out the other. You can prob google dr injector and see if one is close to you. They usually stock Bosch ev1 connectors that you can use to replace/repair the chewed up one. My iPhone browser is too small to make out what else is chewed...sorry.

Those are the wires to the solenoid rack, not your injectors. The BAC wiring is also chewed as stated above. I'd suggust repairing the BAC wiring as it allows the ecu to control the idle. If you don't have emissions testing, you can remove the solenoids and tape off the wiring. Look up "Rat's Nest Removal" for more info (< No pun intended). They are the solenoids listed in the 'fuel and emissions control' section of the FSM.

Just find the matching colored wires and solder them together with some new wire and flux. That's what i did for all of my frayed connections and it worked out.

I mean, they should all be different colors I think, or with some colored marks on them.

Does the BAC connection go to the Orange and Grey connection beneath it?

Thanks so much!

Nope. All of them would connect to the harness, not each other. For the BAC, one wire will get switched 12v. The other gets a signal from the ecu, pin 2Q, Light blue w/ green stripe. You will probably have to check continuity at the ecu to make sure you're connecting it to the right wire.
