That's some ballin' ish right there!

 

im finishing up my wire tuck of the main engine harness and having trouble depinning the MAF sensor, can anyone give me a tip on how to get the actuall metal pins out? I was able to take the black safety clip out from the inside, but the metal pins won't budge.

BTW gorgeous engine bays everyone !

 

I've never been able to depin the MAF plug.

 

1/4" split loom is wrapped around my MAF wires...that SOB plug won't come off

 

I got mine off, I will have to take a look at it tomorrow. I remember it being tricky.

 

that would be great, thanks a lot. I really would hate to cut any MAF wires.

 

do not cut those wires

 

why bother? you can only see about 1/2" of the MAF wires

 

im wrapping all my wires as well as all the tucked wires in PET high temperature resistant braided sleeving, but since its not a "split" wrap it has to be pulled on so for me to pull it down the length of the harness I have to depin every single connector otherwise the connector is just too large to fit inside the sleeving as i pull it on. The only connector I have left is the MAF

attached is an example of what all my harnesses look like

 

Do not cut the MAF sensor wires. You'll regret it if you do.

You might also consider redoing those wires for the coil packs. It looks cleaner if you extend the 3 wires for each of the coil packs to the back of the block and sleeve each set individually. The branching you currently have looks a bit messy. Just my two cents.

 

+1 I did all mine separate.

 

big c is doin it durty style!!!

 

I think ill leave it as is; id rather have smaller wires branching out from the main harness as they approach the accessory / component as opposed to 10 smaller clusters running the length of the main harness before they reach the accessory. Just a matter of preference I suppose.

Also I do recall someone on here posting that both the MAF and throttle cables are not to be messed with as they are length/resistance sensitive. Thanks for the reminder nonetheless

 

small chages...who sees them?

 

black a/c lines and bolts on timing cover, and real coolant delete!
