cutlassdude96 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 check to see if there is a plug, plug in at the power stearing pump Quote
Guest RedCutlassSL Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 mines like that, robs is like that, all 3100 powered monsters are Quote
kfahn Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Posted July 25, 2003 there isn't any kind of plug for that to connect to, does anyone know what it can/should connect to? Quote
Brian P Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 that looks like canister purge solenoid wire Quote
cutlassdude96 Posted July 25, 2003 Report Posted July 25, 2003 do you have RPO code NV7 - STEERING , “POWER, VARIABLE EFFORT†Quote
kfahn Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Posted July 25, 2003 that looks like canister purge solenoid wire i have no idea what that is or what it does Quote
Cledus Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 Mine is like that too. Someone guessed that it was not used in our '95s because they still have an OBD1 computer. In 1996 the OBD2 computer was used and this wire is plugged into something. Quote

godofthunder Posted July 26, 2003 Report Posted July 26, 2003 all cept cutlassdude96. I have Variable Effor Steering, but have never noticed that plug. I will have to look for it this morning.

kfahn Posted July 27, 2003 Author Report Posted July 27, 2003 ok, still don't know what a canister purge solenoid wire is Quote
Robby1870 Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 ok, still don't know what a canister purge solenoid wire is Its something for the HVAC stuff. Im not sure what it does, but helps the HVAC stuff out somehow. Wow, that was helpful Robby Quote
brian89gp Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 It is attached to the gas tank vapor canister, it allows the engine to suck in the gasoline fumes under certain engine conditions so that the fumes aren't vented to atmosphere. And yes, that looks to be a CCP plug. Quote
Robby1870 Posted July 27, 2003 Report Posted July 27, 2003 Man, was I off. :oops: Oh well, thanks Brian89gp! Robby Quote
