Wiring my harness for AEM... How do i pull existing pins cleanly from ecu plug

[sepulchralx]

I want to pull existing pins from my old KA ecu plug with wiring still attached and just pop it into the blank spots on the RB ecu plug so for map sensor signal, 5v, etc... is there a special technique to get the pin and wiring out of the plug, intact??

[eh?]

On either the front or back side of the connector above the pin there's another hole. The lock for the pin can be pushed down with a small screw driver and it will unlock the pin.

However AEM supplies extra pins so you won't have to do that...

yeah i don't know if i'm retarded or what, but i cant get the aem pins to go in that well, i may be using too large a gauge of wire..

[eh?]

Is it not locking or just not sliding in?

[sepulchralx]

not sliding in all the way.. about 3/4 way then it stops, and i have to push hard as hell

[eh?]

What gauge wiring are you using?

[sepulchralx]

well i tried using the smaller gauge wiring like 16-18 gauge and still wouldnt work... what do u use to crimp the ends of the pins?

[eh?]

I just used needle nose pliers to neatly crimp it.

make sure that the pin is inserted at the right angle (try rotating it) or else it will not go all the way it.
