Wiring harness tonight, which took longer than expected because I forgot about the damage to it.
This engine came without coilpacks but I have a few spares from exploded engines
Coilpacks fitted and the wiring harness cleaned up and back in place
The last ever new-old-stock D2 engine harness heat-shielding. Some cars have shielding over the downpipes and some don't. Not sure why. This one had none at all.
Aftermarket shielding on this side
They should all have shielding here but captain carnage left it off and the exhaust heat killed the pvc sleeving
This is the left engine mount connector which has frayed and damaged wiring
This is the speed sender connector which just broke off when I wiggled it.
I've refitted the harness to the engine before mending these connectors so I can make sure I get the lengths and connector orientation correct. Its as easy to work on with the engine on the stand as it is on the bench so I don't lose anything. The damaged wires and sleeving will be replaced, and this section of harness wrapped with more heat shielding material. Hopefully TPS have repair wires in stock so I can still get the engine in over the weekend...
