My work hours have been ridiculous, so I haven't been able to do the leg work on what kind of female pin connectors I'll need to wire my alcohol sensor harness to the ECU. And I can't seem to get an answer here or from the vendors that would be involved.:blankface:

So I just ordered a ribbon cable harness online. I'll post the results when I get it figured out, so the next guy that is interested can just order whats needed and plug & play without all the time consuming PITA research.

thanks for hooking up the forum.

I feel a little remiss here, but as I said, I didn't get anything special, I just ran over to a computer repair guy on my block and he had pins in his junk drawer that fit.

Unless you mean the end that fit into the sensor itself? That, I got from the same buick dealer that sold me the sensor in the first place. I got the whole wiring harness for it, but I imagine it might be possible to get just the plug end, I snipped the rest of the thing off, just kept wires long enough to get where I was headed.

Isn't someone running a fully functional alcohol sensor on the forum?! That's weird that they wouldn't share the knowledge.... At least Vince at Trifecta wont hold out on you when you get it figured out and you're ready for tuning.

I imagine that same computer repair guy would be able to tell you exactly what kind of pins those are.

I also have the OEM sensor wire harness. That info was easier to find.

Soon I'll have the pin info and I'll make that easy for others to find.opcorn:

Thanks man, I just went thru your intake porting post and did it for myself last weekend. Took about 3 hrs cause I'm a perfectionist and kept finding casting flaws to blend.. anyways thanks for your legwork.. you're making sonics faster around the globe.

The style needed to pin the ECU harness are:

Delphi E78 female pins. I'm ordering them today.

Thanks for the info Vince@Trifecta.

That's awesome that you finally found someone to give up the info on the pins! If you make a spare harness/sensor set up or two I'm sure you can make a little money off of them.

Vince i will pay good money for a wired sensor kit!

I'll likely buy extra pins to share, but the actually pinning of the ECU has to be done on the car.

Ethanol burns colder and resists detonation, allowing for more timing.
More timing, more power.
More ethanol, more timing, more power.

I know I'm speaking semantics, but ethical content doesn't directly create more power, rather it allows the engine to produce more power based on increased timing advance.

If anything, ethanol in itself, contains less power than gas per volume, that's why you have to burn a lot moe ethanol to see gains.

^^ 5th line down
What does ethical content do in a fuel sorce? Does it involve pouring holy water or church wine into the gas tank? Will it give the engine the power of Christ?

Sorry Vince I couldn't help myself.

On a serious note good job on the pin P/N#.

You know why churches don't allow wi-fi?
Because they don't want to compete with an invisible force that actually works.
