i just finished putting everything back together on my 22re for the headgasket and timing chain replacement.however i have one wire copper connecter with 2 white wires and 1 brown connected to a copper connecter with a hole in the middle it is by the cold start injecter but i do not want to guess where it goes please somebody help me i know i should have taken pics but i do not have a digital camera but on all_terrains 22re timing replacement you can see the wire i am talking about on the first page, sixth picture it will have the heading above (managed to seperate the vacuum hoses and lift the upper intake out) it is onthe bottom left hand side i cant make out what it sats on the tape.thank you i hope someone can help me

 

If you're talking about this connector, I figured it for a ground wire for the efi system. I put it on the bolt right above where the canister bolts to the intake.

 

yes that is it thank you, would this effect my starting of the 4runner.

 

Does anybody know what this connector is called, because when I try to start my vehicle the motor does not turn over, so I am guessing that it has something to do with this connector? please help!
thank you

 

its a ground wire...and yes if not properly grounded it can keep your engine from starting

 

where should i ground it out too and i am extremely grateful for your reply, to put things in to perspective when i was tightening the polts om the oilpump on the timing cover i over torqued it and it broke so i had to drive to the auto wrecker to get a new one before they closed and when i got back i had to remove the broken stud thankfully for easyouts then i cant find where that connecter goes so i go to start the vehicle and no go.not my day

 

make sure that your engine is grounded to the frame, then to the body, and that the battery ground is connected to the body...

 

i had written with a paint marker on the throttle body where it bolts on to the intake, by one bolt i marked the letter g for a ground but i smudged the marking does this seem like a likely place to be and yes i did check my other ground connections thank you very much for your reply.

 

sorry superjoe i hope i did not seem to come across rude but yes i did check my ground connections and they looked good and bolted on

 

it bolts to the stud on the bottom of the intake runner AFTER you install the upper plenum.

 

When I bought a 90 4x4 Toyota, 22RE. I saw the same wire dangling. It was too short to reach frame, I just used mounting bolt of EFI for ground. I never did know what it was for, but just grounded it for peace of mind.

 

what is the upper plenum what does it look like thank you

 

look at the pic above ,you see the 2 studs sticking out at the bottom ot the runners, after yu reinstall the upper intake ,slip the eyelet over the stud and bolt it down.

 

thank you ironroad9c1 i did that and it started right up what a relief now i have to set the timing and adjust the idle does anyone have any tips on doing this thank you every one who has contributed.

 

Yeah, that wire goes on the upper plenum box.

 

thank you all terain17
