Folks,
Anyone have a pic of the location. I don't see the socket, on my 1991, where a wiring diagram says it should be, any help would be appreciated.
-
The relay mounts to the firewall near the windshield wiper motor. The harness/pigtail shouldn't be too far off from there
-
That's what I was seeing on the diagram, but wasn't seeing when I looked under the hood.
-
Is it a 4-wire harness?
-
Yes. I looked through my pics, I don't have a good shot of it. It mounts just to the left of the wiper motor.
Heres a pic of Josh's car from the first Northeast Meet - you can see the foglight relay in it, it's the black block near the wiper motor:

I might be able to get a better pic if you need one
-
Thanks. I will see if I find a similar relay/socket in that location.
-
Thanks, I found the relay socket, it wasn't mounted. The socket and wire were tucked behind/under the brake master cylinder.
I am going to use a touch switch and an aftermarket relay to run the fog lights.
-
Replaced the old socket with a new aftermarket socket and relay, working like a charm.

Yes. I looked through my pics, I don't have a good shot of it. It mounts just to the left of the wiper motor.

I came across this thread the other day - I know it's old but can someone please tell me what those parts are in the pic used to replace the intake and O2 sensor box? I want to do a CAI just like this but have no idea where to begin. Did this come as a kit? I also had no idea there are compatible aftermarket O2 sensors for this car. Sorry for my ignorance but I know nothing about interfacing aftermarket sensors to such an old PCM. Thanks!
-
I'm not sure what you're referring to, the O2 sensor is mounted in the exhaust manifold. Are you thinking the VAF / MAF (vane AirFlow meter / Mass AirFlow sensor)?
The factory VAF is still there, there's an adapter on it to fit the cone filter. The stock J pipe is replaced with some plumbing/sewer fittings I believe.
There's no easy way to replace that sensor on this car, only reasonable way to do it is to go with a full aftermarket ECU that runs a more modern air metering scheme
-
Yes my apologies, I am talking intake here. If I take a closer look at the pic it does seem like the stock MAF box is still in there. I was hoping maybe someone found a way to ditch that bulky thing, and the blue wiring kinda threw me so I thought perhaps this was an example of an aftermarket sensor.
-
Yes - without going through some extreme effort there's no way to remove that. No upgrades, either.
It's not a terrible thing, while unsightly it does offer flexibility with the stock fueling system, IE more air = more fuel (some limitations apply lol)
