2008 STi engine install - need help with a couple harness connectors & evap system

Re: 2008 STi engine install - need help with a couple harness connectors & evap syste

the one in the top picture looks like it goes to a air pump valve. if you have done an airpump delete maybe thats why it is missing? i believe this one is disconnected on mine as well and i have the air pump hardware removed. i just tore mine completely apart to install pistons a month ago. my advice for next time is paint marker label every connection with a letter and same with hoses connections.

in the second are the two connectors different colors? if they are grey and black the picture i have of mine show the black one going to the connection with the hoses from picture 3.

in the 3rd picture the hose that is loose with the ? goes to the bottom of the 2 ports shown. the top port goes to a tee fitting. i cant see where the intake line terminates and dont remember off the top of my head

I thought it was for the pump hardware, but I pulled the pump and valve out of the bin in the garage and didn't see one that matched up.

They're both identical connectors, both black and 2-pin.

Thanks, hopefully someone can chime in with more details.

Also, is there a good way to tell if I have the injector wires connected to the correct injectors?

Re: 2008 STi engine install - need help with a couple harness connectors & evap syste

honestly the only other thing i can think of in that area is the knock sensor. it mounts directly below the bypass valve under the intake. the injector wires i think are somewhat different lengths. i just got back from 2 days worth of racing so maybe ill go outside tomorrow in the daylight and take a look at mine and see if i can help you out any better.

Nice, thanks!

I'm going to have to find the #1 in that pic, where is it typically located?

Re: 2008 STi engine install - need help with a couple harness connectors & evap syste

I believe solenoid #1 is under the intake manifold. I don't quite remember from the last time I took off the intake manifold but that was something I didn't touch for the intake manifold removal iirc.
