Can anyone tell me what this wire went to? It was located around the cold start plug. I was trying to see what it went to and ended up breaking off the wire and the plug. It is a large plug. I wonder if this thats something to do with my car not starting. The wire looks to be white or beige. There is another wire that is connected to some below this one that looks to be the same size.
My haynes porsche book isn't worth a crap trying to find out this stuff. Thanks in advance! Attached image(s)

It is tuff for the forum to help with wiring. You are going to get 100 different ideas. If one end of that wire has a connector on it, look for the female (or male) part somewhere very damn close to it. If it is brown there might be a hidden case bolt with 4 or 5 spades on it that are all grounds, they should all have a wire on them, if one is missing.... TA DA. short of that......
I sing this guys praises every chance I get. The one I bought is not EXACTLY perfect, but it is a HUGE help. PROSPERO'S GARAGE LINK for $20 even an electrical illiterate like me can get things done. Look for your car in the list and buy one today.  |
