Single black wire with blade type connector.
It is at the rear of the coil pack (firewall side). Looks like it goes to something near/under the coils? It is black so a ground? Not sure.

does it actually plug into the ICM connector or it has nothing to do with the coils?

That's my problem - I can't find any place it goes!

It is a blade type (male) connector and I can't find the other side of it.

But it goes somewhere under the supercharger snout or behind/under the coil packs.

Does anything on the car not function? have you tried metering and/or grounding the wire?

I just went out and raised the hood. Not able to see under there. It feels like it is made onto the bottom of the coil pack, not sure though. I could not feel a bolt or spade type terminal.
It is attached directly above where it is hanging.

I am sure some of these folks know how it attaches

I bet that is your trouble.

Well, the car won't start. Not sure if any fuses are blowing though. Everything in the car works, all accessories, but the car won't turn over. Its as though the battery is dead or the starter is broken.

But there is plenty of juice.

At least I know I'm on the right track.

Still not sure where this wire is supposed to go. I guess I'll just cram it under the coils?

I'm gonna go hook up a scanner to it this afternoon.

There is a bolt on a stud under the coil pack. You have to take off the tensioner pulley on the SC side I think. Put it under the coil pack as long as it grounds your good.


Did you check the fuse under the rear seat for the fuel pump?

Yeah, fuses are all good - of course if there is a problem with relays that's different. smile

Thanks, I'll reattach the wire.
