Very strange

[Daveyup]

Ok I'm new to the world of Scooby Doo's, I have just bought a 1994 2.0 GT-B Twin Turbo Auto and on have a good look around I have found a wire with a large white, two pin, round plug at the tail end of the gearbox beside the prop shaft. The strange thing is there is nothing to plug it into has anyone any ideas?

It may be that the same cabling harness is used on different models and it's just a "leftover" that is for a different gearbox. Maybe the neutral switch on a manual gearbox?

 

Check if you have any voltage on the pins - that can indicate if they are connected at all!

 

Other alternatives are:

- The FWD solenoid control. (Only present on some AT gearboxes)

- AT Oil temp sensor. (I don't know if all AT gearboxes has this)

- Speed sensor for electronic speedometer, you may have a mechanical since it's a '94, or that there were alternatives available.

- The low-range indicator for a Wagon. (But I think that this is actually mounted at the lever and not on the gearbox)

 

The first one is easy to test. First measure for voltage in any of the connectors, then insert the FWD fuse and measure again. The remaining ones are harder, and I suggest that if the FWD test fails just ignore it.

Just a note, GT-B's didn't exsist till 96, it's possible someones converted it though.

 

And i'll have a look under my car tomorrow, i have a manual 98 GT-B so will let you know if it's a plug for the manual box.

Thanks guys some good thoughts there.

Sorry it may not be a GT-B but it is an ex-Japanese vehicle badged as having the Bilstein struts and also badged as the STi.

Another question do the primary turbo’s on the twin turbo models always whistle a lot or am I looking at a turbo replacement?

the primary's are far too over worked, they tend to brake often... unfortunately.
