I have a Helm's, but I can't really find what I'm lookin for.

On the bottom of my motor, right around where the oil filter is, there are two cut wires sittting there. One is yellow w/ a red stripe, and the other I believe is a red wire w/ a dark blue stripe.

I am pretty sure the yellow/red one is from my oil pressure switch, which apparently had the connector ripped off. What is the other wire from?

Also, I can't find the plug for the sensor that is on the rear thermostat housing.

Where would I normally be able to find this connector?

Alrighty; got a chance to look through the Helm's and it's the ECT sensor connector I can't find, and it should be stemming off around where the TPS and ignition coil plug comes out. Hmmm.............

Still can't find much about the blue/red wire though!

 

I think your right about the oil pressure switch wire. I had to rewire mine when I did my swap.

Oh wait a min...maybe its the knock sensor too. I 'll hav eto look around for ya

 

ill look when i get home from work...my engine pulled out, so it should be easy for me to look.

are you about to put that engine in? we should meet up sometime, since we only live like 10 mins away from each other.

 

The knock sensor! I bet that's it!

I believe i had a plug plugged into the knock sensor, but had to take it out b/c it actually went up to a sensor on the intake manifold. I never tried to find the one for the knock sensor.

And fastludeh22: we should! There's another guy or two on here that lives kinda close that i would like to meet up w/ sometime.

My motor's in the car now, w/ just a few more things to hook up. I gotta get the axles back together, and find my keys.......argh, i'm gonna have spent the better part of a year building this damn car, and I won't be able to test it out b/c I lost my keys......

 

Yellow wire was for oil pressure switch, red was for the knock sensor.

Last piece i haven't figured out yet: the ECT sensor on the thermostat housing doesn't have a plug. I checked the harness and there's no plug or wire.......hmmmm.

 

That sucks. See if you can just use some kind of wire conector to hook into the sensor.

So I was half right on those wires

Yeah, thanks for mentioning the knock sensor; it totally slipped my mind!

That's what I did w/ the knock sensor: I cut the connector from my old H22 harness and just spliced it onto the length of wire that was left.

If I could find the wires from the ECT, I would do the same.......but I can't find JACK!
