I traced the wires on the back of my TC cluster to the oil guage and compared it to the plug and I came up with a white/pink for the oil sender wire so I connected the white/red to the white/pink.  someone correct me if I am wrong on this one. Thanks

ok another question, I have 2 orange/yellow wires and in the wiring schematic I have it says the orange/yellow is for the vehicle speed sensor, should I splice the two together or leave the one out? but then how do I know if I have the right wire?

If the two wires have continuity(ck with ohm meter), it will make no difference which you use or if they are spliced together...

Now that you mention speed sensor, I remember running wires for it from the shifter harness where it came up through the floor... That was my only real goof up... I'd added the connections for the SS to the EEC harness but didn't run those into the engine bay... Found out my goof when I'd already installed the harness and HVAC plenum(repl a seeping heater core), so those wires are run inside the dash(and why my gray plug has no connections at all)... Later on, I figured out I could have connected those wires to the ones from the original 2.3 EEC test connector... It's in the ride/ABS harness so is unused, I'm feeding gauges with those wires now... Guess you've figured out, I don't like poking random holes in my firewall LOL... Especially if there is any other choice...

BTW I found my EVTM, was where it was supposed to be, just on the wrong shelf...

I checked for continuity on the two wires and they seem to be tied together at some point as both of them lead to the same point in the eec connector.

when using a speed density HO computer will I need to do any repinning in the harness or will it be alright the way that it is?
