  3. My console power I believe was an odd colored wire, not your typical red or orange wire. I forget exactly what it was though... It should be located right behind your radio though for sure. Not sure on another name

    Is that power wire just a power wire? If it is then I can just tap into any random power wire and it should work right?

    I am still having trouble! I found all the wires I need in my Chiltons manual but went looking for em and... somethings wrong. According to the book, a pink/orange wire should be going to my VSS from my PCM. Well, there is no pink at all in those wires. The wires are numbered in the PCM also so I corss checked it. The pink/orange wire should be number 33. Looked for #33 and it is a gray/orange wire. WTF?! Checked a few others and they were hit and miss. Some were right, some wernt even close. How am I suppost to get this damn OHC done if none of the wires are right?!
