attach everything else and see whats left. But Brown is usually a ground wire.
Usually. I bet that it grounds to the case. Find a 1.8 wire diagram in your haynes manual and trace it out. Zach |

IIRC
The LJet has a ground wire connection on case under plenum on passenger side. Seems like there are two ground wires that go here. I also had a single ground wire that went to the case up by the coil. This ground wire is still being used eventho I am now running 40idf's. Good Luck....another commonly overlooked wire is the resistor pack for the injectors on the 1.8 KP |

Is it actually brown, or is it white or yellow that is faded and dirty?

Looks like that block is part of the connection to the dual relay.... You should check out the electrical schematic

On my 75-1.8 it is plugged on a tab that looks like part of the cooling shroud. It is visible looking in over the battery side back toward the tranny flange just barely out from under the intake plenum where the tubes hook on. There seems to also be a white wire also plugged on to a tab next to the brown wire.

so i will attach it to ground. and we shall see.
on another note... can you hook the dual relay wrong, it seems the wire pinout on the left and the right are slightly different, and either way i plug them (only 2 ways) a wire in the pinout does not have a mate on the other slot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) anyone got a pic. or can you tell if this is backwards? Attached image(s)
