Default What did you guys to for this?

On the passenger side of the engine, leading down from the PCM is a harness that goes to the o2 sensor on that side, ground wire for the starter, an oil switch of some sort in the oil pan, and another ground wire to the block. I only noticed the other day that the whole harness was contacting the header, and it really seems like theres nowhere to put it. So today my friend said to use this "high temp resistant" tape (looks like thick electrical tape to me) and it still burns through it. The next thing I can think of is wrapping the harness in header wrap?

There should be a plastic clip on the O2 harness that clips onto a bracket against the tunnel near the heater hoses, IIRC. Mine broke a long time ago, so I just zip-tied it out of the way.

Ask yourself, do you want tape holding your car together?
