Would anyone have any pics of their own or be able to direct me somewhere that has pics of an engine compartment with a 2.3. I just picked up an 87 4x4 that has some issues. I need to know things like how the wiring harness is routed on both sides of the engine compartment, where the cruise unit mounts (mine is just hanging there), how the relays mount on the pasenger fender, and anything else that can help me make sure I get it back the way it is supposed to be.

I will be getting a manual for it as soon as I get a chance, but I would like to get this sorted out asap.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks. Kmack yours is carbed, so it doesn't help me too much. SykoRanger88, are there relays on the other side of the air intake box where the air filter is. Mine are just hanging there and I am wondering how they are supposed to mount. Is the rubber flap on the drivers side fender covering the wiring harness. I would like to know how that is routed, too.

I appreciate your time. Thanks.
 
yea relays and stuff are beside airbox, and on drivers side the wiring harness is under that black cover, lemme know if you need other pictures.

Thanks alot. I will see what I can do with these. Just won a manual on Ebay so waiting for it to show up, too. I appreciate the pics.

SykoRanger88,

The large wiring harness that runs along the back of the engine from the passenger side to the drivers side. Does that run on top of the valve cover and under where the EGR valve mounts to the intake?

Thanks,

Steve
