What is this called / Where does this go / What does this do? [MERGED]

[forcefed594]

This is probably a dumb question, but what is the part called that holds the front suspension in place and bolts up to the knuckle in a 1g? Does anyone know where i can find this part?

 

[miliman13]

Hey, i'm back again.
So some of you might know, i have been stripping the inside of the 2g and i have found more loose wires! yai
The trunk.

this looks alot like the stock amp wire, it may be from a previous owner.

another view.

this is part of the harness in the trunk, that connects to the rear lights, but i don't see what is may connect to.

this is another wire that's a part of the same harness with no end to connect.

The cable you said is the stock amp,
Goes to the antenna. The vent is just a vent, it goes to the outside of the car behind the bumper.

The small wire that is a spade style is for the defroster

And the plug most likely is for the tail light harness

 

[miliman13]

about the antenna wire idk, my antenna works fine with out this wire, and this wire is is one the passenger side, were as the antenna is on the driver side.

the spade wire does look alot like a defroster yes but its in the trunk, if you were to raise the hatch it would disconnect or ripe, assuming that's were it goes.

and for the tail light harness . yes that is exactly right, it is a tail light harness but all my lights work. And this plug doesn't connect to anything else.

all very logical assumptions, but thats not it.

Check the very last picture in the original post here and the response after for the 6-pin black plug: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/electrical-tech/397952-2g-interior-wiring-harness-name-these-connectors.html.

I'll have to try getting to the others later if no one else does first.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

There is a second amp like connector on te antenna side, now that i remember it there was a second one on the passenger side not used for me either

 

[miliman13]

Last one, you’re correct again. The "reserve connector for CD auto changer" is a 6-pin connector and only utilizes the first three pins (pin 1 – blue; pin 2 – black; pin 3 – red w/ black)



That's your original response to the plug. What did this originally do?
Oh and thanks alot you two. One down!

Update, I stopped by the local junk yard, and all 5 2g dsm from rs to gsx have those 3 exact plugs/wires disconnected and just wrapped up and tucked. So this leads me to conclude, that I still have no efing idea what they do.

 

[19Eclipse90]

The wiring I pointed out last time was for a CD changer. If there was never a CD changer in place, it would have simply been taped up and put out of the way.

The single-pin connector you have pictured is for a luggage compartment light switch for vehicles without a theft-alarm system. If the vehicle did have a security system, this is an open connection.

The 8-pin round connector is a D.I.N cable. There is supposed to be one running to the CD changer. The only other place I see one is running between the radio and the amplifier.

 

[miliman13]

yea, that last wire goes from trunk straight to the radio, I get that it is for the oem radio, but what it connected to idk.. Any who I feel like I got my answer. thanks

can someone tell me what this is? Right under the throttle body.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

what is the part thats white on top? Its under the battery tray. 98 gst. The bottom vacuum line isn't connected to anything.

 

[redi4axion]

the first pic under the throttle is the ISC or Idle Speed Control. your seems to be damaged and disconnected so you idle is probably all out of wack.

The second pic is for the emmisions system its supposed to be connected to charcoal cannister which on the 97 GSX is right where that pic is taken and the 99 GSX is behind the front bumper on the drivers side. Not sure wher its located on the 98 gst which is sad since I have one.

It's built into the fuel tank on the later model FWD 2Gs. See: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/445831-99-gst-evap-removal.html#post153081042 and http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drivetrain-tech/247093-awd-conversion-swap-guys-enter-here-advanced-merged-2-07-a-8.html#post152540416.

Posted this in another thread, didn't get any replies, was hoping someone could tell me what this is and where it needs to be connected too.

Have a boost leak and came across this laying down on the floor of the engine bay, its a bad pic but it looks like a EGR value or something, has two small vacuum lines and lead up to near the throttle body and then a larger tube connected to the bottom of it and just goes towards the front of the car. This is located on the passenger side under the TB intake.

 

[Dxc545]

Its emissions stuff, the charcoal canister. The line your holding goes back to the intake

 

[stirb]

Checked all along my intake and can't find where to put it in, is it needed?

 

[19Eclipse90]

That is the purge control valve, not the charcoal canister. Unless your air intake pipe is not original (and it looks like it is, based on your second picture), it should have a nipple on the firewall side for that hose to slip over, like Dxc545 said.

 

[Dxc545]

Oh man your right, if the intake is the stock ribbed tube there should be 2 nipples beside the bov return hose

 

[horizontalkev]

Thanks guys

 

[that408gsx95]

This thread is awesome just wanna say thanks to all those taking there time to answer questions, haven't posted b4 but glad to know all it takes is a pic for those hard to describe unknown things

 

[chet1185]

Can someone tell me what this is? It was just hanging there all taped up inside the passenger side door. Im assuming it has something to do with why my power locks don't work.

It goes on the lock cylinder. I would also assume that's your power lock issue.

 

[chet1185]

Any idea if i can get new ones?

 

[motomattx]

Theres probably no reason to get new ones, it doesnt look broken. The reason it was probably removed is that you possibly have a frozen lock cylinder.

 

[chet1185]

Lock cylinder works. Do they just snap on the cylinder?

 

[motomattx]

Yes, they snap on.

 

[chet1185]

Ok, just a question. What if it doesn't stay on? Should i try a zip tie or something?
