Well, I didn't have time for the sc test fit (some setup to do) so I did the throttle body wiring.

The color code for the kit is

Kit Color ->TB Connector Color

Blue -> Brown (Dark)
Orange -> Lt. Brown
Yellow -> Yellow
Purple -> Purple
Green -> Green
White -> Gray

Kit wire:



So with that in mind, I stripped back the existing electrical tape to expose the connector wires. I made sure that I left enough on both sides of the cut to wrap and solder:



Cut:





Now, using Rosin Core solder (60/40), I began stripping the wire and soldering it. I also used the 'heat shrink tubes' to cover up the solder, then wrapped the sections of wire in electrical tape -- then finished off with the kit supplied wire cover:

This is a 'wrap' type connection for soldering:



Soldered with heat shrink tube:



Prepped for soldering on the car (before adding the wire sleeve)

Make sure, before you solder the wires on the car, to add the heat shrink tubing and the wire cover first -- or you'll be stuck ;o)



Soldering on the car with heat shrink tube also:



All together now! ends of the shield are taped and tye-wrapped:



Before:



After:



Next, I'll do the MAP and EVAP connectors...
