I have a bunch of tubes and wires that go nowhere, I could use some help figuring out what goes where or what it's called.

Pictures in this folder: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/album.php?albumid=4238

ANY help is greatly appreciated

 

does the car run? It looks like someone tried to remove the emissions and AC.
Pic 5 seems to be a oil pressure sending unit.
Pic 6 is a temp activated vacuum switch (used for emissions I think ).
What year is the car Ill try to look in my diagrams for the wires as soon as I get some time.

 

Wow that doesn't look fun. Sorry I can't help though, I hacked out most of my harness.

 

Car runs, has problems shifting, but that post is in another forum.

any idea where the tubes for the temp activated vacuum switch go?

 

Why do the MAP sensor, MDP sensor, and BP sensor have to all look the friggin same?

 

Here are wiring diags for almost any 3rd gen - study looking for wire colors, might help:

Pic 4, green wire - maybe coolant temp for the guage? - would run to sender in driver side head between #1 & #3 spark plug - does your temp guage work?

Pic 5 - looks like the hole at the top of the china wall - usually a oil pressure sending unit there, or else it's plugged. Yours looks 'plugged', but not a good job of it. Any hardware store sells little brass plugs for that small hole. Does your oil guage/idiot light work?

Pic 7 - looks like a MAP sensor, BUT ...

Pic 8 IS a MAP sensor - so I'm lost on Pic 7

Pic 10 looks like the EGR solenoid/connector

Pic 11, 12, 13 looks like same thing as pic 10, correct?

You see there's a hole at the end of the metal bracket - I think that usually gets held down with a valve cover bolt, but won't hurt anything for it to be 'loose' as long as it doesn't interfere with linkage or lines get pinched.

Pic 17 looks like a part of the gas evap system - the pic is driver side just behind headlight right? There should be a vacuum line on that thing that runs to the carb I think - but exactly where on the carb I dont know (I haven't seen under the hood of a OEM carbed car in a long time). That round canister is the evap or charcoal canister - it collects excess fumes from gas tank and fuel system, the vacuum line that should be attached to it then sucks these fumes into the carb to get burned - exactly when that occurs is controlled by the ECM usually.

Pic 18 same as 17 - missing another vacuum line there.

Disclaimer I'm taking somewhat educated guesses here - I may well be wrong.

Sorry you have such a mess on your hands - don't give up - between wiring diags, the guesses of folks here, and vacuum diags (do a search you'll find some), you'll get it all sorted out.

Where are you located? Maybe if we knew, someone here lives close by and can come take a look - we have members here from all over the world!

 

Picture #7 (drivers side) Should be the fuel pump relay..... That's where mine is anyway.

 

Thanks for the link. May come in handy someday for myself.......
