Is the insulation on this harness weak like the 94-97 model? Thanks

Any of you experienced experts have any thoughts whether this car year has a better harness than previous years?

Well mbusa denied the claim which I kinda expected, but waisted the 120.00 for diaognoses. I want to know how to order the one in thailand for 400.00 new. HELP please ...Surfma

THis is true... I have had a similar problem and I had to fix the harness first and then I was able to trouble shoot the rest of the car..

GOOD LUCK! I rewired my harness myself... Running great!

I have just a couple of ideas... The first is what I am dealing with now.. My fuel pressure regulator on the front of the injector rail... I found mine to be leaking gas in the vaccurme line... Replaced all of the o rings and working better.. Also I found my kickdown switch under the gas pedal was broken..THis brought back the pep as I replaced it with one from a junk yard.. Good Luck..

I have all the supplies to do this, and i ONLY use solder and heat shrink tubing, NO CRIMP CONNECTORS!!!

Would $300 per harness and about a week turn-around time be decent?

What do you guys think, im just trying to help....

i would be interested please call or e-mail me cell 714-728-6598 dl@debtfreecreditsolutions.com 1995 c220 engine harness
