Time to bring this back to life.....Sorry it took me so long to get these pictures, but with the Holidays and me trying to figure out most of this stuff on my own, its been a slow process. The good news is, I figured out 80% of these new "mystery wires" by using the schematic that Captkaos and nlauffer sent me.
To give an update on all my original questons:
Picture #1 is definitely the temp. sender wire, like you guys all said.
#2. The thinner green wire is part of the ac circuit and goes to the fast idle relay. Do I still need this wire? That relay is long gone, and the ac compressor has its own ground now. Also the throttle kicker solenoid is spliced directly into the green/white wire, looks like number 959. So can I get rid of the wire in picture 2 if it just goes to the fast idle relay?
#3. That black/gray wire actually goes to the carb fuel solenoid temperature switch. I finally found that on the schematic. I was able to get rid of this.
#4. This plug with what looked like tan/black, is actually pink/black, and the plug goes to the carb accelerator pump fuel solenoid. Again I got rid of this.
#5. Definitely the knock sensor like you said. I thought it was dark green but is actually blue on the schematic. Got rid of it.
#6. Obviously the ESC plug to the distributor like you said. Used a thread on here and got rid of that entire harness along with the ESC controller.
#7. Is the tip-in vacuum switch for the ESC so I was able to get rid of that as well with the rest of the ESC harness.
#8. Clearly vacuum canister. I did however remove it and the lines going to nothing. I still have to add a vent to the vent line going to the fuel tank.
Huge boost of confidence for me to get all of those resolved -and sorted through. Thank you all for the help!! I do have a few more questions, however....but I am almost there.
Here are pictures of the three plugs and a mess of wires going to each that I had talked about in an earlier reply:
In the first picture, that white/tanish looking plug is actually the one for the torque converter lockup. That goes go my only electrical plug on my 700 r4 transmission.
The second picture shows a circular two-pronged plug and the third picture is that red plug I was talking about. I don't know which one does, but on the schematic one of these plugs runs to the EGR bleed solenoid. I'm assuming that was removed a long time ago.
All three of these plugs have wires going to each other, and they all turn into the 3 total wires in the 4th picture (2 light green and 1 light blue).
From there, they run into a plug that cant go anywhere except that vacuum switch by the brake booster that we established was the vacuum switch for the torque lockup. This is picture #5, but I have to make a second post since I can only post 4 pictures at a time.
After that plug in picture #5, they turn into 2 wires, one light green, the other light blue, and they run into a plug in picture number 6.
After that plug in #6, the light green wire goes to that orange plug in the same picture. On the schematic, it says this is "Test (orange)"
Is this just some kind of test lead that goes to nothing? Or does anybody know where it goes to? Then the light blue wire goes into the firewall right by the main harness plug in picture number 7, and goes up the inside of the firewall and I lose it. By looking at the schematic it says the light blue wire runs to the brake switch. I'm assuming this is so when your foot hits the brake, this wire will disengage the lockup?
My question with this is, does anybody know for sure what the round plug and red plug go to? And which one goes to the EGR bleed solenoid? Not that it really matters because mine is gone.
I need converter lockup, and I was planning on hooking the original harness up and replacing that vacuum switch with a new one, but after realizing there are two other plugs connected to the same harness, and that green wire is going to nothing, would it be easier to just remove this whole harness and buy a lockup kit from somewhere like jegs or wherever?? And IF it would be better to just buy an aftermarket lockup kit, is there anyone out there with recommendations? Which one would you recommend? Or stay away from? There seems to be a lot. I found one from Monster Transmissions that had a "how to video" and all that, that seemed like a great kit, but my other question is, most of these kits say to screw the 4th gear switch into the side of the 700r4 in the 4th gear plug, but looking at my 700r4 I have no such port or plug on the side of the tranny. How could this be and what other options do I have for this switch, or would I have to look into a different designed lockup kit?
Any help on a lockup kit, or if I can still use the original lockup harness while figuring out the other two plugs would be awesome.
Thanks again and sorry for another long post!!!
