On the back of the intake manifold the 3 wire connector, what is it and what order do they go into the connector, when removing the manifold they came loose, i need to know what it does and what order from left to right it goes in to so i can put it back in the connector!

 

The MAP sensor is on the intake itself. The Cam sensor is similar but connects to the back of the valley cover (not the intake). It only can connect one way.

 

 

yea i know that, but the wires came out of the map plug and i need to know which way the wires line up to put it back into the connector so i can plug it into the map sensor. a pic of the wires in the connector would be so awesome if yall had it!

 

oh, too bad you didnt ask earlier today as i had it all apart swapping manifolds.

 

O man i really need it i cant get it back together till i figure out which wire goes where, anyone have any pics of just the pigtail?!

 

or a wiring diagram of the map sensor, anything?!?!?!!? i need this bad

 

Ok i found which wires go where, just now i need to know, How do you reconnect the connector? isnt there a special way of connecting the bare wires to the connector?

 

The weathertight connector comes apart. There are little metal inserts that you have to remove. The wires were orginally crimped into those metal inserts. You can bend them apart, strip the wire, stick the fresh wire in and crimp them back together. Then you have to re-insert the inserts into the plastic plug.

It's a bitch getting the inserts out if you don't have the tool though. I had to do this with my alternator exciter wire plug, ended up drilling the hole out so it would slide through freely, i carefuly connected the metal part to the alternator, then slid the plug down over it. It's hanging by a thread, but it's been working for like 20k miles.

Check out http://casperselectronics.com/ , they sell all types of OEM plugs and ****. Worst comes to worse, you can buy another one and do it over. They also sell the tool to get the metal inserts out.
