Hello Zers,

I just preformed a plenum pull and bypass, however, I didn't keep track when we disconnected the wiring harness from the engine (another friend did that part). We have a bunch of connectors (the 3 pin ones) that we have no idea where they go. Any tips on where they go, tried looking for hours but anything involving wiring does not talk about the arrangement of the actual connectors.


On a side note, one of the screws for the EGR tube does not seem to go in no matter what I do, the EGR tube was bent slightly from taking off the valve so we have tried every which way to get it in. Put some RTV on screw whole but obviously not happy, every time we try to put the screw in it comes out crooked.

I'm guessing you are referring to the larger grey ones, in which case those are the coil connectors, if you lay out the harness in the middle of the manifold they somewhat lay where they need to go, plug them in as you THINK they should be and then you'll have to trial and error the dead cylinders until everything is in the right place. And I am sure you will let this be your lesson and always label connectors, a few extra second on each plug, a roll of masking tape and a sharpie will go a LOOOONG way when reassembling.
