Ps anyone have any suggestions on what hose they use or what you would reccomend. I just flipped though summit and all I see is akimoto and chikara hose. Cheap vacuum hose is cool for hondas but not on my baby :bigok:

you do not need to remember where the solenoid plugs go. at that point, it is irrelevant. just get rid of the plugs alltogether, and use some resistors. 1/2 watt & 330ohm. with a male spade connector on each tip, and just plug them into the connectors and you are done....only one resistor per [2 prong] connector....





good luck...

Alright as always thanks to everyone who has contributed. A couple last questions I have first off how much vacuum line do I need to order? I see hose techniques has a kit for our car $118!!!! and the stuff only sells for about a dollar a foot!!! Second Rxplicit you say "Just get rid of the plugs altogether". Which plugs are you directly refferring to? Im assuming the emissions ones? Thanks again to all who have helped out.

Your not going to need much line, I just went to Advanced Auto and bought some standard black vac line. Just get about 10 feet, thats way too much but so what its only going to cost like $10. You dont need any fancy vac line unless you just want it for some reason.



Even if it hardens and you have to replace it 60,000 miles from now, who gives a ****, it'll take about 20 minutes



Also as far as the harness plugs are concerned do you have a Power FC? If not you need those plugs and you have to put the resisters in them. If you DO have a PFC then you can just cut out the unused connectors. Personally I'd wait till you crank the car, drive around and know its all correct and working right before cutting the unused plugs out.

No I dont have a power Fc. Another kinda stupid question I have. Anyone recall how many resistors they used or how many solenoids they are left with? If I am correct I should still have 3 solenoids remaining??
