Message	Doing it the long way insures a prolonged good connection. I'm not a fan of the crimp in quick connects for longevity. These type of connections can become loose and don't always match the exact size of the wire. If you use one thats a little to small it will cut some of the strands in a stranded wire which makes for a poorer connection. It is, however, much easier for someone who isn't very electrical savy. The ECU way, IMO, requires to much tracing and rewiring. It also requires you to cut up your harness. I just don't like it. The best way? Thats up to you IYO.

As I said, the current to ECU pin 58 is .86 amps - DVDBURN (MD) 15:03:33 11/10/10 If there is no current flow to the injectors when the car is - not4resaleZ 15:51:12 11/10/10 The mod is to prevent electrolysis. - DVDBURN (MD) 16:11:38 11/10/10 I agree, the unwanted current is bound to be very small, - not4resaleZ 16:35:47 11/10/10 so why would anyone do it the long way ? - TTkeeper 22:57:32 11/09/10 Can an electrical expert please explain the pros/cons of... - Gromit 04:26:06 11/10/10 My look at it. - DVDBURN (MD) 06:41:25 11/10/10 You can still solder it without taking apart the connector - John (MD) 13:43:06 11/11/10 Thanks for voting this to FAQ everyone. - DVDBURN (MD) 06:42:17 11/10/10 It's already been voted into FAQ, but..... - Woody75 (Denver) 12:07:45 11/10/10 Re: It's already been voted into FAQ, but..... - Eric(FL) 12:47:21 11/10/10 That's a very good idea!!! - DVDBURN (MD) 19:09:34 11/10/10 There isn't any fault code that's going to keep a car from - DVDBURN (MD) 14:57:57 11/10/10 Yeah, after reading what's actually being done, I agree. (n/m) - cherryz 21:36:35 11/10/10 That is almost too easy, thanks! (n/m) - whip 15:25:51 11/10/10 that's actually so easy that i'm going to do it - KasbeKZ(VA) 19:09:00 11/10/10 Do like Eric suggested. - DVDBURN (MD) 19:17:08 11/10/10 what do you mean? - KasbeKZ(VA) 19:28:14 11/10/10 Yes. If you do this then no worries about the ECU memory - DVDBURN (MD) 22:47:42 11/10/10 i think i understand - KasbeKZ(VA) 00:08:26 11/11/10 Yes, that's correct. (n/m) - DVDBURN (MD) 00:50:48 11/11/10 nice. how about from the clock? - KasbeKZ(VA) 09:07:15 11/11/10 Getting voltage at the clock should work. (n/m) - DVDBURN (MD) 16:05:16 11/12/10 At that point, you almost have to consider... - CoHPhasor 23:16:24 11/11/10 Thats what I was thinking. Maybe a hiden manual switch. - greyzx (now blue) 13:51:24 11/12/10 You could put a switch in place of the quick connect - DVDBURN (MD) 16:03:00 11/12/10 Sigh... Maybe I'm missing something here... - Gromit 17:30:03 11/12/10 The thing I don't like about the other way is that - DVDBURN (MD) 23:51:19 11/12/10 Thanks Gary. I'll return to my seat now. - Gromit 16:25:40 11/13/10
