Something i have found through trial and error whilst cleaning my injector and coil pack connectors,

 

i have wrapped all my wires with electrical insulating tape, you know the black stuff everyone uses :thumbup:

 

well around the top of the plennum it gets very hot this has made the tape quite hard and the problem arrises at the connector ends where the wires tend to twist easy becouse the trailing wires have been wrapped with tape and are now hard,

 

i found my det sensor connector wires snapped at both ends as the insul tape had hardned and was letting the wires twist easy :thumbdown:

 

now i have stripped the tape off and used self amalgamating tape that is a lot more flexible and having wrapped around the connectors too a lot more support for the delicate wiring

 

hope this helps someone:biggrin:

The problem with self amalgamating tape is it dose what it says. I amelgimates together and you can not unwind it at a later date, as it all becomes one.

hopfully i wont be needing to take it off again :) but you are right it is a pita to take off though

why not use heat shrink tubing

i have used heat shrink tubing on my injectors instead of the rubber, be cearfull though as that also sets hard and wont bend, the stuff i used anyway

If you go to a car electrical place, they should have non-sticking loom tape.

the stuff we use at work stays flexible works alot better than tape
