Hi,

Put the engine loom back in the car, and there is 1 plug and 1 wire left over, and I dont know what they go to.

The similar plugs that I have plugged in are:- oil switch, dizzy, idle control, coil, and the one on the dircet other side to the throttle cable.

I think the blue spade connector came from something under the inlet manifold but I dont know what.

Any suggestions would be appreciated coz I'm a bit stuck.


Thanks.

is this the temp sensor? if it is the blue spade must be for something else.....http://i825.photobucket.com/albums/zz180/Drac0nyx/13032010066.jpg

on the bottom of the inlet manifold there will be a place for the spade connector to go back onto.

the one with the plug will be the ecu temp sensor, the one with the spade will the the dash temp sensor

Blue spade goes on the back of the inlet. Closest to the bulk head. It will feel like a large pin head. Its for the temp gauge in the dials. The other does look like it plugs onto the back of the block. Kinda below where the other cable goes

Ok, I found where the plug goes on the back of the block but not where the blue spade goes, could it be something that I inadvertently took off when I was painting the inlet?

The only place that I could see it going is here:-
