Some rats were chewing on some coil pack wires and I have a question.
I was experiencing spark related driving problems a few days ago and decided todo a tune up and when it came time to swap to a new coil pack I noticed some rats had helped themselves to the wires (in the past AND recent past) I was building myself a new harness when I noticed I have a disconnected wire and no idea if this wire was disconnected when I had the car running good a week ago.
The wire in question goes to what looks like a capacitor and maybe an igniter. It is Part of the MALE end of a plug. The capacitor and other business are connected to the FEMALE side of the plug.
The wire in question is bright green with a white stripe. This gives me a clue.
The wire in question, when "plugged in" connects to a brown wire leaving one of the electrical doo-hickeys. That doo-hickey has two wires coming out of it. A black one and that brown one I was just talking about.
Based on those clues, I'm hypothesizing, that this lone disconnected wire MIGHT be a ground.
Please look at the pictures and send me ANY feedback or trolls.
. If the brown wires where originally white before they browned from age, then the below print might be correct with wire colors. The Green/wire wire in your pictures might have been installed at some point to replace a bad wire, also the loose end you’re referring to looks to be just shielding for that wire which would have been hooked to ground from shielding of a normally white wire that would have run to TCU of a automatic trans cars (see highlighted in below print).
