anton74 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 What is the purpose of the twisted pair inside the plastic wire loom that connects to the coil pack on 3100 SFI engine? It looks like it is going to the block. On my car this cable is touching the exhaust manifold and the plastic wire loom is melted. I already changed the loom a couple of times and I want to find a permanent solution for this (reroute the wires?). Thanks, Anton. Quote
AL Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 It comes from the knock sensor and you can use a ziptie to tie it away from the exhaust... My buddies GA had the wires melt from the exhaust and it wouldnt start Quote
anton74 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks AL. I will try to ziptie it tomorrow. Do you think that using a piece of heater hose as a wire loom can isolate the wires from the exhaust? Quote
AL Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 If you can ziptie it away from the exhaust, you wont have to worry about the loom Quote
RobertISaar Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 twisted pair and goes to the ICM? that's the 7X crank sensor, you definitely don't want to lose that. Quote
anton74 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Posted April 18, 2011 I replaced the part of the loom and ziptied the cable. Thank you guys. Quote
Jonpro03 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Posted April 18, 2011 Is the wire shielded? That'd be the the crank sensor. Quote
anton74 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Posted April 20, 2011 No, the wire is not shielded. Quote
