stock ECU harness concerns
Hi all,
I was working away on installing my mega squirt today, when I got the stock ECU removed I have some concerns with the wiring, it looks as though someone has spliced some things together at some point. I've taken some pictures to see if I can get some help on what's been done and if I need to try and fix this before plugging in the mega squirt ecu
can anyone suggest what I should do here...

Couple more questions , what year is the car , was it running on the stock ECU previously, Was running normally ie no check engine light ?
Going from memory and the wire colours on my car , the wires that have been hacked look like the TPS and the O2 circuits.
Id start with getting a wiring diagram (year specific to your year of car ) figure what's been modified and make sure it's going to the correct pins in the connector. If you let the smoke out of your new MS , it's not going to work very well Fredb .

Thanks Fred,
Car was running great on the stock ECU, it's a 1990.
I've been searching for a while and can't seem to find a wiring diagram, not one I understand anyways.
I just went to look at the car again, there is an orange wire and a grey wire, both of those have the exposed wire coming out of them, as you mentioned it looks like maybe shields?
the o2 sensor wire has been changed, perhaps thats it?

The bare conductors joined in a crimp to the black wire are just shields and by the looks of the crimp, factory.
The soldered butt connections do not look like factory. I just disassembled my entire OEM harness and did not find one soldered connection (as it should be)
Remove the soldered bit and re-splice with a quality butt splice and the correct crimping tool.
In absence of the correct tools or butt splices, re-tape/shrink and continue on as normal.

the red wire is the AFM signal, and the red/blue is the o2 signal. some owner probably had some piggyback on it at one point and cut both wires and has since reversed it. the shielded grounds are oe.
wrap it back up and move on.
