KV6 plug location - going mad

RKDE · 8th December 2013, 13:17

Guys I need some help. Been looking for ages and I can't see what should be in front of me and I believe it is in front of me.

After having paid to have the thermostat done last year I noticed that another puddle has appeared as the last person did it without taking the manifold off so this time its the gaskets. I have removed it all no worries but I have a plug left over.

This is a plug that comes off at the same point as the 2 knock sensors and the thermocouple, its the same type of plug that connects to the TPS and all the injectors but its not them I have checked many times now.

Any pointers?

Traction control is standard on the engine harness, even if you don't have Traction control. It would connect the the side of the throttle assy if present, otherwise it just lays there dormant

I do not have traction control so that could very be it and also why there is no plug in reach of the wire. I will go and look at it again as it does look like it has been connected but maybe I have used the traction control plug in the TPS and got them all the wrong way round. Will check now

One of the plugs very dirty inside so has never been connect. Thank you for the help it is appreciated.

I was doing well everything out and back in in less than 2 hours, then a further 2 hours taking it apart and looking for the item it connected too.

It can wait till next weekend now

Yes that is it. Feel mad about it. with my last diesel all the non used plugs were in a bag. Never mind come next week and the car can go back on the road.
