[Shotimes] RE: Hard Start, no tach.

[Bill Murray]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I changed out the Cam sensor tonight.
We'll see if I have any more problems.  On a related note, I was not
able to check codes.  I've had the car for 3 years now and I've never
had to do it before.  I can't find the stupid EEC connector!  I know
where it should be, but I can't find it.  I have the ABS connector but
its red plastic, both the cover and connector.  Isn't the EEC connector
fairly close?  I stuck my arm down as far as I could feeling for it, but
still nothing.  Can someone tell me where it joins the main engine
harness, and if there are any other connectors running off of the EEC
spur that I can hopefully trace back?  I have an extra harness down in
my basement, but I don't know what box its in so it would take a while
to find.

Thanks

Bill Murray
