[urq] Re: WR-engine - Wiring harnesses

Knut,

>(http://home.no.net/glesne/Temp/Harness1.jpg) in my car?

Hold on, I don't see the intake temp connection.
Is it there?  What about the flywheel sensor plugs?

Only thing from the fuse box will be +12 ignition and another wire for the rev counter.  What about the ignition module (coil driver)?  It is a separate piece from the MAC 01.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
