GTFC's "What are these plugs" thread..., Updated to Pics #2 Options

[gtfc115]

people are gonna hate me after all this...

i got my car out of the shop cuz they dont know what's going on. there's a lot of problems with the wiring and i want to get it narrowed down. let me explain the symptoms: first of all, the shop left the main white fuse plug unplugged, so needless to say, they couldnt get power to anything. within an hour of looking around, i figured that out and plugged it in. WHAMMO i got headlights (hi/low) the door chime, locks, lights on the doors, and the guage cluster lights up...thats about it. no sunroof, no power windows, cd player doesnt turn on, no blinkers, no windshield wipers, no fan for the vents. all minor stuff for now, i just want the car to start.

now, when i turn the key to start up, i can hear the circuit opening relay click, but nothing else happens. i had a couple friends over to help out and we ran 12v straight to the starter and the fuel pump relay and got the motor cranking, but there was no spark so it wouldnt start.

so with no power getting to a number of things, i want to go through all the leftover plugs that are layin around to see if they should be plugged into something.

here's the first one. it's probably the EGT sensor. 1 black wire, 1 white wire. it comes out as shown in the 2nd pic.





theres a lot more...i just want to go 1 at a time

thanks a LOT in advance...ive come to find i dont know nearly enough to be doing this swap. shame on me.

Hey Cory,

OK, it sounds like your shop has done some wierd stuff to your car. I'll do my best from here to help. You can always find me at celicatech.com as well. In the worst case event, I would always take the harness back for investigation. Of course that would be a worst case scenario, as that would add a bunch of unwanted time.

It sounds like you are having some very odd problems. FYI, I only mess with engine control features. IE. the things that power your motor. Interior devices would not be affected by my wiring.

Some things to check.

-Did you plug in that single thick wire that I said needed to be connected?

-There is a 3 wire plug, 3 fat wires, they need to be connected. Are they?

-Make sure the ECU is connected

-Check the following parts, to make sure they are plugged in: Ignitor, Coil, Fuel Injector Resistor Pack, Fuel pump relay, Fuel pump resistor pack, Distributor plug, Injectors.

-Check ALL fuses to make sure they are not blown

-Check that your battery is making power

-Check that the plugs beside the ECU are plugged in

-Check your starter relay

What exactly was your mechanic doing? Did he take the dash apart at all? Was he doing any wiring in your interior?

To be honest, it sounds like something is going on behind the scenes with your ignition switch. IE. when you turn the key something is not switching like it should. I need to know more about the car.
