I need some help / suggestions as to where the connectors in the images go. Any help will be much appreciated!
I started a small project to replace the lower valve covers and gaskets. I didn't venture down the slippery slope dove head first ... complete suspension (Rear) rebuild, ERP pieces (not installed - perhaps this fall, engine dental and some great/fun new pieces. New RS Sways, drop links, CR heat tube, Cup CF Airbox, new plugs, wires, distributor Caps and rotors, powder coated many pieces and 100 Cell Cats and Fabspeed Mufflers (not sure I'm doing the exhaust at present - it's driving season here in Wisconsin!
I am almost complete and will post pictures of before/after when done.
I assume that all three electrical connectors are simply zip tied to the fuel rail - simple enough. It's taken a bit of time and for the life of me I cannot remember where the Black Piece goes - is this connected to a vacuum line?
My car is a 95 Narrow Body production date Feb 2014.
I appreciate the suggestions / help guys. Don't forget to be awesome today!
Those 3 aren't used when you have the carbon heater tube (blower bypass). That's how the factory RS comes. You're fine.
If in the future the heat produced is not enough for the WI winters you can always add the blower back, but I doubt many 993s venture out during the winter months.
I seem to remember that the resistive sensor can get hot, so be careful. If you disconnect them, then you will get codes, but I think not CELS.
I would like to put in a bypass, but having tried it, went back to the blower. If you ever need to defog the windows you will rapidly find out whey there is an assist fan in the engine compartment. If you never drive in the winter, or need windows defogged, then its great and declutters the engine bay.
Is the resistor coil part of the cabin blower in the engine compartment? No blower motor load so not resistor needed once the blower is removed? The other looks to be some sort of temperature sensor is it related to using the blower as a cool down blower once the ignition is turned off? Again no blower present so no need for it. Does removing the blower throw an OBD Code?
I wrapped all/any electrical contacts in plastic so they will stay clean/dry and not touch anything, then zip tied it outta the way. Get blank relay so you can still use your defrost fan.
Sounds like you are going to have some fun projects this driving season! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, i'd love to have you join the Fabspeed community : )
I just did this project yesterday so it's still fresh in my head.
You have a few items that you removed from the blower that can removed from the car and stored with the old blower. The sending unit with the coil separates from the two leads. You don't want to keep this in the car. You can tape up the remaining leads, and place the resistor/sensor back in the rectangular opening in the old blower tube.
It also looks like when you unplugged the temp sensor by pulling the round plug out, you also pulled the temp sensor itself out of the blower unit. The temp sensor should be separated from the round plug and stored with the blower.
Now with those two items removed you can tape up the remaining vestigial appendages.
Photos always make things clearer for me. Here's a couple of shots of the resistor and sensor that you can pull out and store with the old blower motor. I just finished cleaning these up for hibernation.
Resistor goes back here with old Blower duct for storage.
Temp sensor and square receptacle stay here with old blower assembly. No need to leave this in the car to be damaged
You definitely don't want that resistor coil dangling in the engine bay--it gets REALLY hot when there is no air flow to cool it. Engine fires have resulted from this coil being dislodged and going unnoticed. Some owners (me included) zip tie it onto the blower tube...
