Engine about done....lets play guess this connector!

[Nicks2319]

Sorry guys, I know everyone hates these, but Im just about done with my rebuild and theres a couple of connectors that I dont remember pulling out.

This isnt a connector, but it looks like something needs to be connected to it. Its sitting behind the brake reservoir.

These two right next to the power steering. I pulled the entire AC system, so do I not need these anymore?

Same part of the harness as the MAS and Cruise Control sensor... looks like it should go to the tranny, but theres nothing there. Its kinda underneath the fuse box.

I dont know if this is a ground of some sort, or just a spot to mount the harness. Does this connect to the not-positive screw on the alternator?

Thanks alot everyone!

1 is for sure the brake booster. You need to connect a negative ONLY pressure hose to it (basically a hose with a ball valve connecting to the intake manifold to prevent boost from pressurizing the brake master)

Can I just connect it to the brake booster vac line off the back of the manifold? Or do I have some piece laying around that I need to put back on...

There should be a very specific hose that is a curved L shape from your manifold to the brake booster.

As for the 2nd pic, do you have your fan plugged in and your headlights? Thats what those kinda look like.

3rd - Id vote for your BCS (boost control solenoid)

I had a feeling about the BCS too. That plug has been dangling on my car for a long time now, and I wasn't 100% sure, but I think this confirms it.

Yes it is the BCS. BTW if you still have that solenoid or can get a hold of one, hook it back up and Im pretty sure you should get rid of a CEL

I love these games.

I switched to a COP ignition setup this winter and also a Magus Intake, Do i need the power transister? Also do i need the sensors that connect to a 2g overflow bracket? Just trying see what i need and what i do not

The fan connector is dangling near the bottom, and the headlights are all plugged in. I think these are from the small AC canister thing that sits in the hole next to the PS reservoir. Can anyone confirm?

You still need the power transistor.

Anyone have ideas on 2 and 4?

The orange plug is for the hood light switch and the other plug is for the AC system.

Oh and heres a pic of #4

Yea I know that looks like crap, but its just a mount for the harness. You can tell its not a ground because it doesnt connect to any wires.

Hopefully that will clear things up for ya.
