    What's this wire?

    It's on the harness on the firewall. Black and white wire that is unplugable.


    I unplugged it and my car no longer hesitates on start ups it seems.

    It's the wire that makes your car hesitate on start up.

            I think it's the wire for non O2 sensor cars, should be unplugged on US models.

                  What would happen if two M42 cars were side and by side and they each plugged into eachothers? +500hp? Or Hiroshima?

                    I remember plugging this thing in when I did my swap thinking that it should be plugged in anyway. I couldn't get the car fired up so I went through everything I did. Unplugged it and car ran instantly.

                              I also plugged that shit together and my car ran like shit....

                              Unplugged it and it went back to normal...

                              Also i heard it was for non US models without 02 sensors.


                              jou ma se poes in 'n fishpaste jar.
