Title: found an unplugged wire, what is it?
Post by: carpmike21 on April 20, 2006, 08:49:41 AM

Hey,

I just bought my first Samurai and have basically no knowledge about them.  It's an '88, carbed, all original.

I'm having a hot idle problem.  Seems to happen basically at random where it will stall in traffic unless i give it a little gas.  Adjusting the hot idle screw just results in rpms that are too high part of the time and barely above stall part of the time.

I started looking around the engine compartment for bad grounds, connections and vaccum leaks.  The only thing I found seems to have no where to plug in.  It is a yellow wire, with a white stripe near the battery.  I started the car and my test light shows it has power while it's running, but I don't see anywhere for it to go.  The only thing I can see in the schematic I have of the wiring system that is yellow/white is the water temp gauge, but my temp gauge seems to work fine.

Does anyone know what this is or what it should be connected to?

thanks.

Thats just a spare pigtail. don't worry about it. I think every sami I owned had that .

Nice to know that Suzuki had the attention to detail to let random live wires sit under the hood.

thanks
