Hello list, So i'm looking at making a new wiring harness for my van and the megasquirt, and am debating between going 2 routes: 1) use the stock harness and simply add on new connectors at the end. This will keep the stock look, will match up with bently diagrams, etc., but will still have 20 year old wires and ECU connector in it. 2) create a new harness from scratch, only reusing the ECU connector. Just looking at what is locally available, though, that'll probably mean all the wires will be one or two colours, and likely not have as clean an execution because i won't be able to find all the sizes of heat shrink i need, etc. The crux of my question is: how bad to wires in the engine compartment get after 20 years? I did a quicky pin/ohm test and was getting around 1ohm between the two pin connectors and main ECU connector. Is this acceptable? (as you can tell, i'm not an electrical guy). Thanks, -Damon ===== '84 Westy (Sparky) w/2.3L WBX (wow... it actually works!) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
