Hey guys, i had 2 quick questions and any help would be much appreciated. I recently received my CA18DET motor and there were 2 minor setbacks right off the bat. The FICD solenoid was broken (solenoid that ups rpm when using Air Conditioning). Does anyone have this FICD assembly that is for sale? I searched for it on here and no threads have been created about this for sale. Or is there an easy fix for this?

Second minor setback (and more important), the wiring for my crank angle sensor was yanked off of the clip. I believe there were 4 wires in that clip connecting to the crank angle sensor (i would check, but my motor is at my "parentals" house). Can anyone take a peak at there clip for me and see what the wiring looks like? If you could take a pic, that would be awesome if not... i created a little diagram numbering from 1-4 and the location of the wires on the clip. If anyone could just tell me the colors based on the numbers and locations shown in the pic? If there is less or more wires, just add the number and the color (vis-versa). I read through the 200sx owners manual, searched this site and google'd it. No luck. Again, any help would be greatly

Naw, it was just broken. I fixed that easily. Saw that all it was in there were 2 contact points that needed to be flush with the back of the assembly. So that's fixed now. But my CAS! Can anyone with a CA check for me???
