Lets preface by saying ive read through the foroums a little and seen that alot of these connectors are AMP/Tyco/molex. Im looking for specifically where to get the ones i need and hopefully just a variety kit/pack so i have spares/multiple kinds. I dont care about spending a little extra money i just want to order once preferably.

Pics are just samples im just hoping someone else has been down the same rabbit hole and has updated information

I have a pretty good knowledge of electrical repairs but i want to make sure what i have in plan is sufficient.

Car has multiple splices, spots where wire used to be tied in and the insulation is stripped, additional mods wired in. Just overall not healthy and i knew the more i dug the worse it would get so i wanted to get it out of the way

I stripped the sheating EVERYWHERE got it down to bare insulated wire and located a master terminal/pin/plug kit for this particular engine. The wire in place is all mostly OEM with the exception of one strand which i'll figure out what exactly is shortly.

Found a lot more than i anticipated so i ordered
Heatshrink label maker
Terminal and plug kit
10 rolls of 50' of tefzel wire in different colors

Tesa Cloth tape
Safety wire
Tesa fleece tape
Expandable wire sheating 1/4 1/2 3/4 and 1"

My questions are where wires tie together for grounds or powers or for whatever reason. Can i move them within reason, lengthen/shorten wires where i need to make a neater harness

My goal is to get the harness build with a quick release at the fire wall so i don't have to pull the interior side when i want to pull the motor, this is a later project though

I would like to replace all worn out connectors and broken wires with new counterparts. Then after that task is completed ill do one wrap of tesa tape(cloth) around the harness and wrap it with safety wire so that i can shape the harness when i install to tuck it better and use clamps and such to make it clean. After the after wire it'll get another layer of tesa tape(fleece) then have the sleeve installed with heat shrink to hold it in place.
All said and done its a simple project as i'm not overly modifying it id just like to make sure i can do what i need to neaten it because the factory runs them long wraps them up puts the connectors in strange spots.

Feel free to ask any questions here or in a private message i'm sure i'm forgetting to mention things that are important

There's no harm in shortening and rerouting things to suit your needs/desires. Plenty of folks on here (me included) have modified their harnesses to relocate fuse boxes and batteries, tuck, add/eliminate things, etc. You won't run into problems by shortening/lengthening wiring. Just be sure to make good, clean connections. And solid grounds are vital. One recommendation: don't mess with the factory double-back splices (bulky gray taped portions); leave those intact.

I havent dug into the schematics to figur out what wires those were yet, was curious about those double-back splices if i remember correctly they goto that green wire that has either the ground or a shield run around around it. What are they for if you know off hand. I planned on rebuilding the entire harness but i dont mind leaving them if its that big of a deal


A little bit of research tells me they go to the 02 sensors front and rear and the knock sensor. That being said. Provided i replace with shielded wore and hook it up the same i see no harm in using better quality splices
