Odd wiring

Post by Raquon »

I had to replace my fuel pump this week, checked the relay first and I noticed green wiring that leads from the ecu to the maf. I am completely lost on it
Anyone know what this could be?

Does this wiring look like something that has been added? Any chance you could take a picture of it?

Previous owner possibly found a short/break and re-ran that wire to fix it.

Is it going into one of the MAF pins and if so, what pin is it going into?

I'm confused I didn't go into a specific pin?

You may want to peel back the wiring loom and tap to see if it's tapped into one of the wires or is tied into the shielding.

That wire is the MAF's signal wire. The stock wiring must have been messed up and the previous owner wired that new wire in to fix it.
