Thumbs up How many people rebuilt your engine harness? POLL

With the crappy *** 20 year electrical system that most 2nd gens face. Im sure most of us have gone through hell and back with problems concerning the electrical system, from shitty S4 alternators, to ripped o2 sensor wires or even broken injector clips.

Question is, to what extent did you remedy your engine wire harness issues?

Did you simply replace them?

Rebuild or semi-rebuild them?

Make your own wire harness?

or simply say **** it and go Stand Alone ECU?


If you comment, lets hear your story XD

I always wanted to rebuild the entire wire harness but, thats too much wiring : /

I usually just rewire at the connector instead of the entire wires, unless I need to.

I stripped mine down, inspected the wires and removed the emmission wires and other crap from there. Wrapped it back up, slapped it in, done!!!!!!

I'm not sure if the Power FC has it's own harness, most people just make it work with the stock one.
