well i ran my harness through the firewall and began to plug things in when i realized that half my harness won't reach the plugs their supposed to connect to. Do i have to cut my plugs and wire in new wires to extend them or is there a tricky way to stretch them all? haha

What about the DET Sensor? You have to wire that in as well

Where is the DET sensor and i had to extend some wires... i know that my harness didnt follow the path of the KA one. I just pulled it through, ran it along the wheel well and zip tied it down. It takes some stretching but as long you its not under stress and you solder the connection it should be good.

I extended all my wires. You can avoid extending the ignitor if you mount it on the passenger side. But I wanted all my stuff located like factory. So I extanded almost all of the wires and re-loomed and re-wrapped the wires.

I did it "just enough" the first time. But now that I have it all back apart, I think I'm going to completely tear the harness apart and rewire everything to exact length.
