put a pic of ur engine bay so as to compare. . . can't see what the problem is if I can't see the real thing.

Well neither was your original 1st post...

My camera flash doesn't work so, it'd be even harder. The biggest question is, what does that little resistor looking thing do ? It's mounted almost straight down from where the oil filler cap is. If you understand what piece i'm referring to, just know that I only have one instead of two wires connected to it. In that pic I supplied you can't see the wires, just the "resistor" and some of the connector plug.

Why not just get a mechanics' book or something. Cause in order for me to tell you, I would need a pic of your engine bay as well as a close up.

If you fully read the post and actually followed the directions of where I was referring to, it would've been helpful. If you can't offer help don't bother posting.

There was only one line of your first post when I posted, I apoligize.

I have no idea what the first thing you posted means, but I understand what you were saying, I'm just unfamiliar with it. As for the thing on the far right of the radiator with the red coupler. If I'm not mistaken, that should be where your side mount intercooler is. If nothing is hooked up to it, I'm assuming you have a front mount intercooler. If that is the case, don't worry about the smic. It's there because it's part of our radiator assembly and is what connects it to the chassis on the right. If you get an aftermarket radiator or a p5 radiator it will end up replacing the smic as well. It looks to me like the picture you took off the forums there was either one of somebody with an aftermarket SMIC (and thus hard pipes as well) or simply a hard pipe upgrade for the stock intercooler. Either way, a lot of the things in your engine bay will not match if you aren't running the exact same setup as that image, because it definitely isn't stock.

Well, if i take a pic of my engine bay to show the plug i'm referring to, it will not help...that's what i'm saying. If nobody knows what that resistor does from the supplied picture, a pic of my bay won't help because they look the same in that area. The differences in my engine bay compared to this pic are insignificant because i'd still be referring to the same plug/resistor. Thanks though, i appreciate the effort to help.

Yes, i have a FMIC so that outlet must be for the old SMIC, no worries then, i was just nervous because it was a large hole w/ nothing on it.

well what I am trying to say is that I don't know exactly which wire you're talking about. Not trying to say anything else. If you want to, and only then, take a closer picture of the sensor and wire with you pointing to it. That way I don't get lost in the description of what you're trying to say.

Right on, I'll try on a bright day.

did the wire come out of the socket or was it cut? if it was cut you could solder it if it came out goto a junkyard. I dont know wht it is for but it is one of a few connections I didnt tap into for my ems so it cant be that important

The wire seems to have broken off right where it goes into the top of the male plug, didn't look cut, looked like it got bent too much then heat killed the insulation or something causing it to break when bent. I'll try to take a better pic. It sucks because I can't see what type of crimps they used because the male plug is filled with silicone where the wires go on...PITA.

 

[mazdaspeedwerx]

I know which one you are talking bout I think. its the one that is black and vertical?. it does not seem to connect to anything important really. has a ground wire running with the 2 other wires?

 

[HondaEat-R]

That's right, it has 2 wires going in the top of the plug, then a 3rd wire from the larger harness is grounded right near it. It's just weird, it has to do something seeing as though it has that resistor there, weird. Like I said, one of my 2 wires is broken off right at the plug. thanks

This is what I came up with. It looks to be a capacitor for the ignition coils. I got it out of the 2003 wiring diagram. Hope this helps.
