so uhhhhhhhh... what's the problem? your wiring harness looks scary.... you should undo those crappy butt connectors and solder/heat shrink all connections.

I see a bunch of black wires. Which one are you talking about? The O2 sensor?

None of those wires have anything to do with ur heater or anywhere near anything that deals with your heater.

What is the problem? Your heater not working? Check the faq.

the black wire connected to the single round connector that looks like theres some blue butt connector on it IS absolutely your O2 sensor. it has nothing to do with your heater. it looks like you have a 2 piece exhaust manifold and perhaps the O2 sensor bung is near the catalytic.

what is wrong with your heater? other than it doesnt work.

well when i connected the wire my heater started working. then when the wire got pulled it stopped blowing hot air. so thats why i think this wire is connected to my problem with the heat.like i said my heater blows air but cold air. and i do not have a/c because it was pulled with the swap. so where does the black wire go to??

Your "heat" is mechanical. Your blower is electrical. The blower blows the air. It doesn't care it it is blowing over the evaporator(AC) or the heater core(Heat). If your blower motor is working, then whatever wire you are talking about has nothing to do with your heater. Your problem is something mechanical. Couple things could be wrong.

A) thermostat is bad.
B) heater valve is not working
C) Heater core is plugged.

Does your car reach normal operating temp in the usual time?

If you move the temp control from cold to hot, does the heater valve move?(have some one help you, the valve is located in the engine bay below the fuel filter. You should be bale to see a lever move)

How long since your coolant has been flushed?

that wire is NOT gonna make your heat blow hot or cold....the blower is working regardless of playing with wires right? like someone said blower is electrical...the hot air is not lol. its something else. HOW does the heat WORK when the wire is connected? liiike blower works? orr somehow it makes the air hot? this shizz is confusing!

If you ask for help why don't you listen to what people are telling you?
As has been said several times the "wire"you seem to be showing us is for your O2 sensor and has nothing to do with your heat.

If you check that the heater valve is working and it moves when you change the temp control inside the car check to see that the hoses for the heater are hooked up.
You could do a cooling system flush and make sure the system is bled properly.

"The most thorough way would be to open up the thermostat housing, remove the thermostat, and remove the radiator cap. With the thermostat housing open, run water from a water hose in the top of the rad. It will flow through the entire engine and run out of the open housing, flushing any debris or old coolant with it. After that you can open the radiator drain and remove the water and replace with coolant. Just be sure the housing has a good seal when you reconnect it" looks like im going to do this and see if this will help..

That has nothing to do with heat and nothing to do with this thread.

attica, there are cheap kits you can get that allow you to connect a garden hose to the cooling system to flush it.
