i need to add about 8 inches to my throttle wires. think itll be ok to cut and extend them if i know what im doing.

 

...why

 

I cant think of any reason why you would want to do that.

 

haha..yah thats why i asked why.

 

LMAO... what?

 

hey where did the op go?

 

By throttle wires, he means the signal wire that plugs into the TB? There aren't any traditional throttle / cruise wires on this car that I know of.

 

Sorry, but the question has to be asked....if you know what you're doing, then why ask if it'll be ok to do it?

...just busting your *****.....I dunno man, I hate electrical crap

 

It should be fine as long as you don't have any bad connections, solder everything well and heatshrink insulate each wire by itself then wrap and loom. Test for continuity before the heatshrink though, to save time if you do have a problem with a solder connection.

 

well im installing my turbo stuff and i have the atp sc delete kit and the throttle wire connector dosent reach by about 6 inches so i need to extend it. id rather find a male and female connector and make a custom harness piece for it but no luck finding that connector.

 

As long as you solder them it shouldn't be a problem. You could also just get an extending harness I suppose. Don't know who sells them but someone should have made this already.

Yeah he means that. I am, however, aware that a traditional cable throttle has been used on a lsj swapped aveo...it was in super street a while ago. I guess the aveo has a cable system.

Actually these guys seem to do a lot of GM work http://www.painlessperformance.com/ so you could probably get the adapters from them.

 

Cut,solder,insulate the wires and you will not have a problem. Make sure you plug in the harness to the TB before you install there brake booster fitting.

 

make sure the connection is sodered otherwise you could delay throttle response or TPS could be delayed.

Here's the delco page; this should set you up with the part numbers. Don't ask me which one...there are hundreds of them and I have a limited memory.

Actually I just checked my old t/b. I believe it's this one (8 pin) http://www.acdelcotechconnect.com/pi...2-88986255.jpg

and PT1486 for the male
pt1572 female

Just my "guessing" but that's what it looks like.

Could be pt1635 for the female.

Should be able to order these at an autozone or performance auto or direct from gm.

 

Nuts...I would think the whole pcm set up would be maintained, and just retain the drive by wire. They using a full stand alone to run the car, then?

 

Can you not "open-up" the engine loom to create some more wire length for the TB? Remember reading that somewhere...
