opti plug not going in
opti plug not going in i have a painless wiring harness, and an accel vented optispark. i cannot get the plug for the opti to snap into place. i am sure i have the vented plug, and it is going in the right way. i have no clue why it will not go on, and i'd hate to have to take off my waterpump again.
anyone ever have a problem like this?

dang that sucks bad.
sometimes the weather pack gasket will bunch up and not allow the pigtail to go in all the way.
Also maybe the pins on the opti sensor are bent alittle and not allowing the plug to go in all the way.
good luck

its hard to see in there but i can look down and see 3 pins, and they are not bent at all. the plug is for 4 pins, but its a bad angle so i might not be able to see the fourth.
i have not tried any of things suggested so i will give those a shot. i think am going to take the plug to say napa and see if it plugs in there to a oem opti.

your solution hi guys had to join this board because I can help with your opti plug prob. You are not going to like this but you have to take the opti back off and put the plug on before you seal the opti or put it on your car. When I changed my opti I had the same prob and was panicing but took it off and did that 1st and it went right on. good luck 
Oh by the way I have a 95 caprice with the lt1 in case you all wanted to know.
