wiring 3

we wanted to basically run the project before we start the next semester, so we worked on the weekends. on the thrid day of wiring, we had most of the sensors and components connected to ECU. but there are also heaps of wires we have to clean out since they have nothing to do with EFI system. and also there are a few sensors we haven't found the connection yet. some of the wires are too short when we took them off the car, so we made some new connections.
since the wiring diagram is slightly different with the one we are doing, so we have to locate them by checking the wire colors among hundreds of them.

wiring 2

the next day, we continued to work on the wiring, coz it would never be so easy to finish. i even come into a conclusion, vehicle wiring may be the hardiest part of the design. but after the first day, i clearly got more confidence. now i know what should i do to make my job easier. we still left few components and wiring harness on the car such as fuel pump and cluster wiring. i know it is a good opportunity for me to understand how the wirings are designed in a car, instead of simply cutting the fuel pump wiring, i removed all the seats and cut the carpets even took apart  the ceillling, i was so exciting i found a lot of mechanism designs are so simple but they are also very high effective. after i had what i wanted, i moved to the project. i jusft found how luck i am for working on this project. it just helps you so much to practially understand how all the sensors working togethe with the ECU.
