So I’m trying to figure out all of the sensors on my car, so I can hook up my wire harness I can’t figure out what these are By the Vtec solenoid Some wire that wraps around the transmission Green plug next to oil filter, and this threaded slot for something unknown Some black box thing
Re: Need help identifying sensors and plugs on B16A
1st coolant temp sensor
2nd reverse light sensor
3rd green knock sensor. Oil pressure sensor goes in the hole.
4th body plug for lights and other stuff.
5th evap
Easiest thing to do is start with a obvious plug, and start plugging the ones in the vicinity in as you find them.

2nd reverse light sensor (yes)
3rd green knock sensor. Oil pressure sensor goes in the hole. (NOT the Knock sensor... it is the Cooling Fan switch. This is the location on early "B" series blocks. Later engines have the fan switch on the thermostat housing as you stated. The oil pressure switch for the lamp on the instrument cluster goes in the threaded hole as you stated.)
4th body plug for lights and other stuff. (This is the driver's side connection point for the EK engine harness.)
5th evap (charcoal cannister evap shut valve.)

Not quite. Things like the battery light and coolant temp gauge signal go into the chassis from here, but more importantly this is where power and ground for the ecu, injectors, and ignition coil come into the engine harness from here. The car will not run with this disconnected.

Just be careful, some connectors can easily be swapped - namely TPS and MAP.
