Hello B2 Pros!
My step mom gave me her 88 B2 2.9L that’s been sitting years in my extra parking space.
A few years before she gave it to me, she had the engine rebuilt. But after noticing a sputter in the throttle I checked the engine and noticed that the guy who rebuilt the engine left the wire harness on the passenger side sitting almost directly on top of the header! So one of the harness connectors had melted and had exposed wires.
The connector was right next to the Oil fill cap, Passenger side. The connector has 5 wires into each side, but I just noticed that each side has different color wires! They aren’t the same colors for each connection point.
I ended up cutting out the damaged/burnt connector and wires. I went to the junkyard and clipped another connector off of a Ranger with 5 wires to splice into the B2 wires.
My problem is, it’s been years since I started the repair and now that I’ve got back to working on it I realized I must have thrown out the old harness. So now I don’t know which color wires on one side, connect to the other side!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I hope my post makes sense.
