Where does this wire go?

[ethrty]

I think its an earth, but i just want to verify before i go and ground this and fry something. If it is where does it go to? the starter? seems to be the correct length to go to the starter.

If its not an earth, what is it? it splices into two with both wires ultimately ending up at the DME/ECU with no further splicing.

Your OBD2 still? What does it take to keep the OBD2 on the e30 24 valve swap? I thought it would be too hard so I just went OBD1 with mine.

If it is a brown wire it is almost ALWAYS ground.

got another where does this go question. I feel bad asking all these questions!! hope you can help again!!

It appears there are are three lines coming from the fuel tank. one goes through the filter by the rear wheel and then striaght into the engine bay. Anther appears to go directly form the fuel tank to the engine bay, and a third one goes to some sort of filter or something in the engine bay, and then out into a line.

However the M52 only appears to have 2 fuel lines, input and output. Does this sound right to you?

I know the one coming out of the filter in the rear is the fuel feed and the one that goes directly to the tank is the return.

however ive been told there should be a 3rd line that comes off the throttle body on the m52 then runs to the charcoal canister in the engine bay. However i cant see that third line from the M52

Am using this diagram


(from here)

But i still cant find it. Is it have anything to do with this



This has a hose that goes into the bottom of the throttle body. However it has some sort of electrical connector on it and a loose plastic wire insulation type tube. It kind of resembles parts 1 and 2 together but the rest has got me confused

There is also a round hole in the throttle body that is blanked off, and is more on the side like what the Real OEM diagram suggests.

Hope you can help! Thanks, Andy
