Hi everyone,

I have these wires which are all a mess, I realized vtec was not working after clutch replacement, opened the hood and found this mess.
What do these go to, and what could have happened here? I never noticed any wires just being there..
I hope someone can give me some information.

Thanks in advance

Wires coming from lower part of the car.

2 wires that aren't hooked up, I guess would be connected to the ones coming from the bottom? are they even hooked up the right way?

Lastly... help please!!

 

Looks like a meth head special

 

It sure does hahaha

 

The exposed pair of wires in your photo (yellow and green/black trace) are your reverse lights. They should connect to the reverse switch on the transmission. The hacked pair (red/white trace and green/white or black trace) should connect to the ECT plug as seen in your photo. Without this connection, VTEC will NOT work. I would get another plug and splice it to the two wires... and work back from the end to where the wire/shield is not brittle.

 

And the wire is brittle because it has been soaking in oil. And your forgot a bell housing bolt on that clutch install.

Fix your oil leaks and clean that junk.

 

Thank you for your response I've been slowly working on this car, so this would be the next thing. thank you for the wire info and advice I will get to it ASAP

 

Thank you for the reply, I dont move the car that much this was the first thing to catch my eye this is why I asked about it first. but I know its all a mess. oil leak is coming from Vtec it seems, so I'll get to it all, have been working on this car for a little while.

Thanks again :D
