ok... so my AC hasnt worked since the swap and i figure now is a good time to wire that crap up. so i have my harness apart and im trying to look at the wiring diagrams to figure out a few things. seems like i need some help.
"ac amplifier" in the diagrams means the main AC compressor, correct? on it, is a plug called A8 (looking at the 5sfe diagrams). the harness goes from there to a plug called IM1 and then 3 wires go to the ECU's 1st plug. where is IM1 located ? is it the white, 5 wire plug that goes from the 3s hanress, and plugs in right behind the glove box?

QUOTE(malecrod @ Mar 4, 2008 - 12:02 PM) [snapback]649038[/snapback] Sorry to bring this back from the dead. I have a working AC but no idle up system. I was able to source an idle up unit off of MR2oc. I read through the entire thread and the wiring diagrams. I'm new to all this wiring stuff but I kinda got most of the issues involve in wiring the idle up unit. My question is: Is splicing into the black/white AC compressor and grounding the other wire the final solution to the AC-on crappy idle issue? I'm about to attempt this and I'm wondering what is the final word on this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Yes just splice into that black wire, or any wire that gets 12v when you push the AC button on. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
