Placement of these two FI wires

Post by sgkent » Fri Sep 18, 2009 7:47 pm

I have been unable to find these two wires in any of my FI manuals, Bentley or the Orange book and supplement. The PO had most of the FI disconnected so I haven't a clue. The wires go to pins 9 and 12 on the fuel injection harness connector. The pin 9 throws me because it also goes to another connector that attaches to the AFM.

Well, I did some Google research and a Samba post from Karl, God rest his soul, popped up. I guess he is still with the community in the way he loved best - helping others. He said in the post that they aren't used in a USA bus, only used in the European models for an altitude sensor.

God bless Karl. We were just discussing these wires in another thread and it does seem that they are unused. Thanks for doing some confirming research.
