That wire should be connected to your CHT sensor. The other wire connector that you currently have your cht plugged into with the green wire... that green wire I think goes to your oil temperature sensor IIRC.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Green/Black is oil temp, there should be a matching one coming out of the main harness on the fire wall that plugs into that instead of the CHT.

That’s the one I had connected to the cht. In the original picture. Attached thumbnail(s)

In the original picture. *main* harness, not engine harness. There should be a green/black coming out of the main harness near the hell hole. There should be a couple of wires that split to the passenger side from the main snorkel coming up in the center of the firewall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

It goes under the car. On cars that have an oil temperature gauge, there should be a wire across the front of the motor on the underside of the engine tin, terminating in a connector under that area. The wire pictured there goes down through a hole in the engine shelf--or possibly that hole in the engine tin that is covered by the black plug in your pic?--and connects to it.
