Does anyone know where this plugs in :S By inkar, shot with WP-S1 at 2009-09-13 By inkar, shot with WP-S1 at 2009-09-13
VTC solenoids are on the rear of the inlet cams (cylinders with black caps and white wiring in this pic). But I think the connector in your pics might actually be for the drivers side O2 sensor.
Thats the ones, they also have a white heat proofing cloth over the wires, there the only 2 wire in the engien bay that have this cover over them.
That plug is the VTC connector as WLDTTZ said. It is 2 pin with a green and a black/red wire. 02 sensors are 3 wire plugs with red, white and black wires.
but those seem to be already connected to something :S By inkar, shot with WP-S1 at 2009-09-14 By inkar, shot with WP-S1 at 2009-09-14 what would happen if i drove the car around without it being pluged in?
The connector you are holding is plugged int the det sensor wiring. Det wiring is tan and black. That VTC solenoid with the white cover over the wiring should be plugged into the connector in your first post. Somewhere in there is another connector which is for th det sensor.
Detonation sensor, it measures engine knock and increases fueling/reduces timing to prevent the engine self destructing. On turbo cars it will also limit the boost to 7psi. With the VTC wiring connected how it is it wil be running very rough and using excess fuel. The det sensor harness comes up from the middle of the engine at the back.
Is these two right now? By inkar, shot with WP-S1 at 2009-09-15 By inkar, shot with WP-S1 at 2009-09-15 and i still cant anywhere to plug this one into By Inkar at 2009-09-15
Yes those two are right. The connector in the bottom picture is the det sensor connector on the loom/ecu side. There should be another harness that comes up from underneath the centre of the lower intake manifold that plugs into this. It may have been removed at some stage and not refitted. If that is the case, you can fit a 1K ohm resistor into that connector you are holding to eliminate the code 34 but this is only a tempory fix as any detontation the engine has will not be seen by the ecu and could cause extensive damage to the engine internals. The correct fix is to remove the upper and lower intake manifolds and have a new det sensorsub harness fitted. It is best to do this repair asap or when the 100k servce is being done, if due, as most parts that need to be removed to facilitate the det repair have already been reomoved as part of the 100k service.
