ManicMechanic Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Sounds like crank sensor to me...Goes from the ICM to the crank sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutty96 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ok I had a two wire harness that I had thought went there plugged in to the crank sensor and everything but I need to figure it out I just rebuilt it and don't want any mishaps on the first starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutty96 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 It doesn't want to plug in that way but that's what I thought also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlassdude96 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 did it have a red connector on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy K Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 the wire at the module with have three slots, the middle one empty, with purple on one side and yellow on the other. the "red" connector is often unused and can be seen on 95+ cars and is for "magnasteer" variable assist option. What is this other connector you speak of? how many slots and wire colors? IS THE SELONOID THAT SITS BELOW THE COILS PLUGGED IN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutty96 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yes purple on one side yellow on the other with a space on one end and yes the selenoid is plugged in sorry can't spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltboy1 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I thought purple and yellow was speed sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutty96 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 It wouldn't be pluged into the coils would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltboy1 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 idk a pic would help, only thing I thought of thought when I saw purple and yellow was VSS but I missed the 2 male end part so idk.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 what do the OTHER plug wires look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95cutty96 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Its a two wire looks like a sensor extension wire about two and a half feet long the wires are purple and yellow on the one end it has a space in between I think one end of it goes to the icm but then where would the other one go that is in the same harness that goes to the oil level sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95cutty96 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well I'll give it a try in a few minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 p.s. make sure it is not routed against the egr of manifold. iirc it is routed towards the drivers side and through the area below the egr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
