Most of the FI stuff has white wires. If you mean a single white wire near the #3 spark plug, then yes. It's the CHT sensor, and knocking it loose will result in a no-start. And when you spend 3 hours in the parking lot at work trying sixty-five different things only to realize that it was one simple f***ing wire that you accidentally knocked loose, you'll feel pretty dumb. Especially after several of your coworkers mock you on your way home...
Uhhh, not that I know that from experience or anything.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) --DD |
