Bought a vr4 a while ago and I'm having a hard cold start situation. I beleave it is the a wire off of the t-stat. It's a black wire with a yellow strip, It's broken and I'm having a hard time finding the other end of it. From the t-stat I have the wire for the stat and the conector and about 4 inches of the black/yellow wire. Where does it go?

Here is a pic of the sensors in the t-stat housing:



Which one of these is missing a connector?
First guess is the ECU temp sensor ( #2, 2 wires ), if it's not connected or bad it will cause starting problems plus run in open loop all the time.

Those wires run in the harness that runs along the top of the tranny to the underside of the t-stat housing.



A little work, and you're good to go. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think I still have a few of the pigtails left.

Pm me a shipping address, and I'll get some in the mail on monday.

Sorry I was wrong. I told you the wrong sensor it's number one on your picture. Also I was wrong in the color wire, it's yellow with a green strip.

^^ Ok that's the temp gauge in your instrument cluster.
One wire with a regular ole spade connector will hook right back up.
Commom for folks to remove when running an aftermarket temp gauge.
