Anyone? 16V engine bay wiring- Really needs some questions answered...

DISCLAIMER: This is all according to my 16V, which may or may not be
correct. But it does run. Well, if I find a battery for it, it should....

Mine appear to be hooked to air, and are covered with primer overspray. I
don't feel bad about them not being used when they look so awful. :)

I don't even see that ine, I do have a two pronger up there that goes to
nothing, it's a test harness I'm guessing.

3.  Coolant sensor on the back of the head.  What does there?

Do you mean the one with the nail head type male connector? It's for oil
temp, and is in use on mine (a MFA car, it gives me the digital oil temp
readout), maybe yours doesn't have anything for it to do without the MFA?

I'm thinking yes, maybe confirm that in the Bentley, but there is a two
plug in-line connection down there. It's awful hard to see though.

There are two, one goes off to a T connection and then to a whole snake's
nest of vaccuum lines. The other's just blocked off on a short length of
vaccuum hose.

So thanks eh? In the journey, I found not one, but TWO wires that have bare
copper peeking out. And are they easy to get to? Hell no....so there's
always something. It's good to find shaky wires before they leave you
stranded, mind you!
