I have access to Mitchell one. Frankly it leaves a lot to be desired. Since I can not search a connector by number, A little info may get us there quicker.

Is there anything that you know runs through that connector? Maybe I can backtrack it that way. Going through several hundred wiring diagrams ain't gonna happen lol..

I may find more and update this...

Help me narrow down what we are looking for and why.


There are 42 connections that run through this connector. The only way to find all the components on this are to go through about 50 wiring diagrams and follow each one.
I simply don't have time to go through this, but would rather help you solve what you are trying to accomplish.

I thank you for the effort .I was having a intermittent startng problem in cold and damp weather. No cranking for several tries , then starting right up . I had Firestone service center eventually replace all electronic/mechanical items in the starting circuit . I looked at the TSB "PCM Failure - Electrical Accessories Intermittent- Inoperative" bulletin and had everthing looked at except C134 . The car is fine right now , but if it acts up again I was wondering what fucntions C134 carried . Thanks again for your effort .

IF there was a problem in that connector, a continuity check could be done that would expose a problem within the connector.

If firestone did testing while the problem was happening, you certainly should not have had to replace so much.

You may want to consider using a non-chain shop.
If it does happen again, I would check for any grounds within the system, if diagnosis has become fruitless...which it should not.

Problem would not happen when Firestone had the car to check . They never had the chance to check the connector when the problem occurred . I will just have them check the connector for any damage or corrosion , if the problem happens again .
