Also, I wanted to make sure I getting primary voltage because i am not sure if all the computer grounds are where they should be. So, I am getting voltage to the coil 12v to positive side with key on. I was getting 6 volt to negative side with key in start. I dont think it is anymore or I did...

The mystery connector must be a condenser or something. The FSM does not talk about it (unless it is ignitior). The wiring diagram shows a condenser connected to the positive side of the coil. But, the parts diagram of the distributor shows an small box with a wire connector. It is not...

obd2 is an acronym for something...the "d" is for diagnosis, oh yea.."On Board Diagnosis". Yes, the flashing lights are part of that. You dont have a check light on , but are having idle trouble. You might research term like "EGR" fix. Dont forget ordinary maintenance. OBD2 makes checking...

hey igni I bought the car with the head removed. I just put a new head on.... getting all the hoses, grounds, electric connectors was a problem because I dont have a car to look at. right now I am trying to get the timing belt right. When the pully marks are all lined up where should the...

Does the air flow meter make alot of noise? Mine is doing KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK when cranking the engine. Is that normal?

yea when I get done I will show the car, and that funky stereo control I never seen one and the book does not show it either.

thank you that sounds like a condensor ( capacitor) usually these are not so important, but it might be with this system. however, I have not found it in the book. There is one on the diagram showing connection to the coil. I dont see it on the car, though. I just want to get the thing...

make sure the water level is good, and air filter is not blocked, and throtttle body is clean inside, sounds like idle control issue...duh, I mean there is a part called "Idle Control" (or bypass air something)....water level and cleanliness are important. This is OBD2 vehicle in sweden? Does...

the mysterious white female single spade connector that splits off from the harness at the throttle position sensor? ....it might be for turbo models or something....or it powers some thing that I do need, but I dont know what.

oh hey, yea, it is B6 EGI soch injection with 4 speed manual an '88 economy style. The only luxury item is the stereo controls are on the steering column...like a combination switch or cruise control would be.

Where does the single wire to the distributor go? this is BS: I just discovered that this mystery connector reaches and fits the single wire to the distributor. I had single wire to the distributor connected to a clown colored (white with blue and red dots) wire. I dont know where this mystery...

If I have to take a picture i will, but that means borrowing a camera...and waiting for daylight... The harness to the TPS...about 4 inches before the TPS out comes a heavy gauge wire with single female connector. There is nothing else on this branch of the harness. I have looked in the...

I bought the car in pieces, so i have to put it back together There is a white female single spade connector that splits off from the harness at the throttle position sensor. It is black with white stripe and fairly heavy gauge 12-14 maybe. What does it go to? I have the FSM wiring but, this...

As far as I know the '90 donor is also a hatchback. okay I think the distributor might be electronic on the '90.

Will a used 1990 323 engine ( and 5 speed) easily transfer to an '88 w/ 4 speed? What are the differences to be concerned about? Computer and harness? ....Transmission mounts ...or shafts? Intake? These are listed by Hollander as two seperate engines, why? Any helpful info is appreciated...
