Holmes Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I had new timing belts put on my car about 2 months ago. Yesterday I was changing my fuel filter and noticed that the green connectors (the ones you connect to set timing) and the small black and small green connectors (test mode?) were all still connected! It's been running as well as it was before so I just never noticed. My question is, could any damage have occurred because of this? I must have driven at least a thousand miles with it like this.:-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 on 85-86 EA82 cars, they are under the dash beside the fuse pannel, and if left connected, it will trigger the ECU light, for some kind of starter issue. Otherwise, no harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 is it the one by the firewall? I just pulled this one and noticed the revs increased, and now the car doesn't sputter when I step on it from idle! But the check engine light flashes??

WJM Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 on 87+, the green connectors are underhood at the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 what does it do exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 on my GL-10, 1986 mind you, with the green connectors connected, and you turn the key on, it cycles the fuel pump. Other than that, I dont know what it does. My trouble codes still flash whether they are connected or not. I am not sure what it does on 87 plus cars.

trooperjeep Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 On my 92 Loyale, the green connectors make the check engine light go out. What else do they do? T.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I noticed that fuel pump cycling thing, didn't see the connection to the connection, and haven't checked if disconnecting made a difference. The check engine light flashes when disconnected, but the engine runs better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
