Smile Reinstalling ACV on FD3S

Hey guys. I am putting my engine back together and forgot to label where each of the solenoid goes into the ACV from the engine harness.
I have the ACV unbolted and the three solenoids still plugged in to the engine harness. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am a new member and have limited access on where to post technical help. Can you help with what thread this should be under that I am able to post to?
Have been racking my brain trying to find the schematics on how to hook the ACV back up properly. Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

yes i know that. the new member section has a new member technical section in which u do have access to.

check the foxed.ca website, Foxed.ca - Mazda RX-7 Manuals, where u can download copies of wiring diagrams, fsm, etc.

Another picture of the 3 connections. I am trying to figure out where each one exactly gets hooked up on the Air Control Valve ​​​​​​​

Not terribly detailed, but is there anything in this that would help?

sgtblue - it is a great picture showing the entire wire harness! Have to print that out and keep in my folder!
It still does not help with figuring out where each sensor gets hooked up to the ACV. I know each of the three plugs are a little different ( two black and one white) but the sensors themselves are all the same, I don't want to accidentally install them in the wrong place on the ACV. Appreciate the help!!

Found this in the 94 factory service manual I came across this. Upper left pic, sensors 9, 10, 11
9 - Port air bypass
10 - Relief 2
11 - Split air bypass
Still on the wild goose hunt, but seem to be getting closer.





Also,I read up on this past forum --> https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...outing-870012/ Post #4, that someone by the name of "HAILERS" is pretty knowledgeable with ACVs. How can I find out if he is still active through this club? Thanks!
