Default i think i broke something

okay i was attempting to do the icm cooling mod, but while taking off the bolt with the thin wires on it, one of the wires had snapped off, which was black. The car is old so I expected that anyways. So while putting the air intake back in, I traced that wire back to the MAF connector. Im wondering since I broke that connection off, does that mean my MAF is disconnected all the time?

That is the ground for the MAF Circuit, re-connect that with an eyelet. It has to be connected.

That is the biggest difference with the LT1 and LS1 Harnesses..the LS1 has alot more grounds, but they are spliced together internally and where they come out is on some 12g wires, so they don't break as easily.

It's easy man, just get you some Strippers/Crimpers and a Blue Eyelet and you will be fine.

I'm all over the wiring business with these cars, trust me..lol
