3.2L harness question

Can someone help me figure out what these wires are used for on the 3.2L

The first one is on the left side of the engine by the fuse box

2nd pic is on the opposite side . AC compressor!

Hard to tell from your photo, but the two connectors look like they go to the idle control valve, the throttle switch, or the idle microswitch.

Wires.

Pic #1 does not look stock.
Need a pic of the connector in the upper right
hand side of the pic if it is connected to the wires of interest.

gtc is correct on pic #2.

I started to comment but the picture is so unclear its a waste of time. Maybe take a picture so we can see both ends. Too much guessing showing one pic with one end cut and another with two connectors intact. Pic 1 looks like 02 sensor. Same three wires & colors but just a guess.

The tootle position is connected , I know the short unplug is for the MAP sensor , the only one missing is the longer one

on the side with the strip wires , it makes sense that it is for the 02 sensor , but the 02 sensor has 2 wires and this one is 3, I notice that the beige one has a 12 Volta positive when I start the motor.

Here are better pics .

The first picture is Oxygen sensor green with shield the other two wires are for the sensor heater I think. The last two pictures look like the air flow sensor and idle control valve the air flow sensor is the 5 position and the IAC valve has 3.

Try used parts on this site.

Also "blackbird" on this site sells a lot of used parts.

New ICV's are big $$$$$$$$$.


Good luck,

Gerry
