The other day i was driving down the road and my car started bogging and had loss of power. the car eventually shut off and would NOT start at ALL. I found the problem after a while. these connectors were loose. Both are coming off easily and i have this holding them down atm. does anyone know where i can get these connectors. One seems to go to the module and one to a big harness leading behind the engine.

 

In the first two photos, the connector coming from the main engine harness supplies power and signal to the coil and the other leaves the coil and goes to the ignition control in the distributor.

In the third pic, one plug is coming from the coil to the ignition and the other should be in the main harness supplying power from and the tach signal to the computer.

Anyone chime in if I mixed something up please as I had a similar issue on a TBI engine once before dealing with these wires so my memory could be foggy

 

Got it. Could that be what was causing my car to bogg or is that an unrelated issue? I just found the connectors online but these are for a fuel injected car as mine is a 4 barrel. are they the same?

 

Yup, all the same.

 

do i just splice and connect the ends with butt connectors?

 

I would replace the entire wire from the coil to distributor and then yes splice the connector onto the main harness with some type of electrical connector. If you have a you-pull type of junkyard the wires and connectors you need would also be readily available on a tbi pickup truck as well (i've never looked at these type online so I don't know how costly they are new).

I would suggest a new coil-dizzy wire simply to lesson the chance of a bad splice down the road. Just my .02

 

im heading down to the junkyard tomorrow to see if ican pull this wire. Thanks
