Please help identifying these two engine bay connectors

Hi

I have a 1988 TBI Harness going in my 85 TA and need help identifying these two connectors......


These two are located near the map sensor plug, the first one is a single grey connector with a red thick (10 guage maybe) going into it.

The second one is a square black connector with three wires going into it. The wire colors are thick black, green /white stripe, and a light blue wire. It also has some sort of metal clip on it that looks like it attached to something.



I would be very thankful if someone with a 305 TBI F-body wouldn't mind taking a second under thier hood and tell me what these are connected to...thanks again for the help

Thanks, I figured out the map sensor...the other two have me stumped. I have a 88 Camaro service manual and can't figure it out.

Re: Please help identifying these three engine bay connectors

I believe the first 2 pics are for the a/c heater controls and,the pic with the purple yellow &black wires is for the w/s wiper motor.
You may run into some problems stuffing a 88 tbi harness into an 85 t/a.
I know I had tons of surprises going from digital dash 89 to 92 analog.

I need to know what the two lower connectors are (I got the map sensor connector covered )

They are really close to the map sensor, can someone PLEEEEEEZE look at thier car and tell me what they connect to

Re: Please help identifying these three engine bay connectors

I think the middle one is for the AC. I'm about 75% on that.

I just cannot remember exactly what that one damn connector is for. Might be a power supply to the coil or ECU or something.
