i pulled my engine and wiring harness, << Long story short and cant find my pics to re-run the wiring anyone have a pic of their engineless bay they can send me please???

 

no pictures here, but you've got 3 main harnesses in the engine bay. the one in the passenger side fender is everything engine computer related (sensors, injectors, etc). driver side has 2 harnesses coming out next to the booster; the half closest to the booster is all gauge and power related wires, the other one is the front end lighting wires. there's also a tiny wiring bundle that comes out about half way down the firewall, this is all hvac related.

 

see thats the issue im having right now, i pulled the harness completely out when i pulled everything to paint the engine bay, and now i cant seem to fine the pics i took before pulling it. so thats where im having my issues its looking like i really need another camaro sitting here to look at. or someone that has experience with it to come over and help. idk

 

1992 tbi rs. hopefully this will help out some there buddy. now i did move some sensors. ask away buddy and i will be glad to answer all i can.

 

a few more before mods

 

ok for starters.... WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR A/C delete pulley lol i love it!!! and are you running a smog pump? thats another issue im running into, i delete a/c and smog so i would have just the alt and the p/s and yea with the belt i wouldve had issues. and the wiring idk if im just a dumbass or what. but friday when i get out of work ill have to take a look at it all again and take a few pics of the issue im having. on mine theres like a *flat* wire loom spot that just seems like it should go somewhere but i cant finger out where. the only place i could think possible is it like uses the mount bolts for the trans to hold it to the back of the engine.... idk

 

ok here!!! the flat wire loom goes behind the engine where the tranny bolts up. delete pullies can be bought everywhere. do a google search. if i were you i would lay the flat loom bedind the engine by the firewall. then spread the loom out. some of it will lay out and some wont. also around the flat loom will be the distributor plug ins. plug them in. also the grounds will be back there.

take some pics and i will keep track of this post to help out. and i have seen 1le delete pullies on ebay for less than 40 bucks.

 

ok ok ok ok that was a huge issue i was having, i thought it ran along the subframe ok hopefully with that actually i should be able to put her back together. most of the plugs are easy, kinda fit the length and only go in one way lol. i gotta get intake gaskets and get the intake, TBi and dizzy on then ill get the wire loom started. awesome man i appreciate it, ill post some pics up of what i have so far. lol

 

hold on. if the intake is off then do this. put the flat part behind the engine. then put all the grounds to the back of the heads. there are a bunch of them. then put the intake on and lay it all out. that is what i would do. it will be easier that way.

 

ok ill definately do that, i was planning on bolting it all on the back before putting the top end back together, its to dark out now and my garage is cluttered so i cant push her in there but this weekend im gonna do that and HOPEFULLY ill be set on the wiring, a few things left on the trans side, and the front accessories then buy everything like the plugs, wires and all and figure something out for the exhaust.

 

buy accel cap and rotor. pretty cheap and good. msd streetfire wires are like 40 bucks from oriellys and work real good. put stock plugs back in unless you have headers. if you have headers like me i use ngk.

 

yea ive got a set of hedman shortys, i really wanna put a nice shiny pretty MSD 6a ign box on my firewall but right now its not in the budget im trying to play with to many things lol the camaro, my s10 my jet ski. and plus being in the military im trying to go home and visit family and start a family of my own soon lol

 

i have an msd coil, accel cap and rotor. and streetfire msd wires. i run ngk plugs which are short and it all works great without breaking the bank.

 

awesome!!! ill look into those, thanks man i appreciate the help

 

I'm embarassed to post these after seeing one92rs engine bay. His engine is cleaner than my dining table

 

lol its ok dont worry it was helpful regardless, thats what i was originally looking for but after talking to him he was helpful, but yours are helpful to, if you ever get bored and wanna snap pics of every plug and what they are that would be helpful to lol im asking to much there thou!!!

 

all engine bays look good. shiny doesnt make anything run any better.

 

chrome dont get you home....

 

sheesh

you want everything

I'll go outside later, remove the air cleaner and shoot some. It's not that doing it is a major pain, it's resizing the pictures so the forum accepts them. And i still can't figure out how to make my silly camera stop waiting 4 seconds from pressing the button until it takes the picture

 

lmfao i was just screwing around. i should be good, the biggest issue i was having was the flat loom area, no matter where i put it, it didnt seem like it was in the right place. ill find out friday afternoon when i get home from work and can start tinkering with it again, well see, hopefully i can post up some pics of her wired up and just awaiting everything....

 

a photographer I am not. I hope these help

 

more

 

and the extra wires you see by the alternator are for the hayden adjustable temp sensor for the fan. I need to get some shrink wrap to put over those wires.

i like the Hayden and it's ability to be adjusted. The stock fan switch is just too darn hot before it goes on.

 

thanks a bunch man between you guys i should be able to get the wiring run, im not worried about the plugs, like i said majority of them only plug in one way lol its just getting the wiring back the way they had it lol

 

:'( put the wires on the back went to set the intake on and apparently the motor i have is a pre-87 now i need an intake or need to egg out the center holes on mine. i even did a small P&P on the runners and water jackets mainly to clean them up and blasted it and painted it. now its easy chalk up 5-7 hours of quick labor and money to make it look good or buy a new one which i cant really afford right now and repeat everything with that one...

 

hog out the center holes. i did it when i went carbed. it will work.

 

yea but the only issue with that is where my angle grinder and compressor is at work 20 minutes away i made the trip once today to try it, im not making multiple trips back and forth thats way to much damn gas lol.

 

got a hack saw?

 

yea........ how will i be able to open the holes up with a hack saw?

 

i cut out the hole to a slot. i cut the whole thing out. and then put a couple washers on it. and was good to go.

 

oooo gotcha, well if i cant get it to work next time i do it then thats what ima do. but i have a little better idea of what i need to do so im gonna try it again tomorrow or monday when i head to work and see if i can get it to work for me... then thats pretty much holding me up completely on the motor

 

WEWT!!!!!!!!!!! after hours of cussing yelling screaming, blood, sweat, metal splinters and lots of compressed air i finally got the intake set on now to go get some parts and then ill have the rest of the motor put back together.

 

keep on goin buddy. it will all pay off in the end.

 

It's a damn joke the way GM ran the wires for these engines. It took me a solid week to clean up a "corporate mess". Me personally I wouldn't run the stock wires in the "stock configuration. I gutted mine and it looks TONS better. I still would like to clean it up further but it's "ok" for now. Good Luck on your build man.

 

bout to fire the car up

 

i dont hear it yet

 

cant get the timing right. and i got bit by the coil earlier and got pissed and walked away. ima check all my grounds in the monring, i didnt get my garage completely cleaned out today.

so check the
Grounds,
Battery Charge,
if that doesnt work ill have to pull the dist and start all over again with Cyl 1 TDC and all



would it matter if i have my headers on or not? i have them off right now would it affect since theres no back pressure?

 

it will only matter on the 02 sensor. if the rest of the engine is right she will fire right up.

 

i think i fubarred up when putting the Dist in. so ill have to mess with that in the morning and see if i can get it working right

 

alright guys need more pics/help. the heater core hoses. i have one that runs down and has a hard line. and the other side im not sure where it runs to. and theres a pipe coming off my intake on the back passenger side i cant remember where it runs to anybody have any ideas?

 

Sorry for the shitty video and the open headers.... i have the bear minimum for it to fire up and run the timing needs to be set and vaccuum lines plugged upa nd all that but im stoked to finally hear her run
