Guys, I am putting my engine back together, and while trying to install the electrical conector to the opti, it would not fit. There is a connector coming from the passenger side harness with a blue rippled seal, and as much as I have tried, it just won't slide in. I tried using electrical grease but it won't go on.

Have I missed something here? Did I remove a double end connector wire that goes to the opti and have to look for it amongst the parts?

 

post some pics it will be easier to tell what your talking about

 

The 4 pin electrical connector that goes into the opti, when looking at the opti towards the cap, its on the left top side.

 

With mine, the issue was the cap didn't quite fit correctly - there was a lip of about 1/64th of an inch which didn't allow that 4-pin connector to seat.

My "solution" (if I recall properly) was to loosen the cap, seat the connector, tighten cap, then install the Opti and 2 foot jumper together (as a unit) onto the front of the engine.

It can be done!

 

I combed the car, and found the opti cable. It seems I had removed it during disassembly of the engine and had left it inisde the car. Fit like a glove, and I am only an evenings work of cranking the engine over to life.

I still need to put the exhaust together, I don't want to run it open headers and get in trouble with my neighbors lol

 

What you talkin about..open Headers is fun stuf..
