Fuel Injector Question

Hey guys,

I'm hoping I don't get flamed for this. I've searched dozens of times and not found a final explanation.

As I stated in my introduction thread, I bought a non-running RX8. After seeing some of the other work the PO did on the car, I decided I should probably check the wiring harness for missing connectors, etc. I pulled the UIM off and started checking the injectors, and some of the connectors were in the wrong place (like I thought). Now that I'm putting it back together, however, I've run into a problem.

All of the injectors have unique color wires except for two: there are two that are white with blue stripe and blue with black stripe. I've looked at tons of diagrams and can't find for sure where they go. Does anyone have a surefire way to sort this out?

I'm thinking that since one of the blue/black wires is on a separate harness with the white green wire, that means that they go to the primary 2 injectors, but I wanted to make sure before I closed everything up.

Thanks.

A picture might help. You need to peal back the covering on the wiring harness to actually see the colors. The exposed ends of the wires fade and become unrecognizable.

Here are two pictures that show the problem.

W/B= white wire, blue stripe
W/G= white wire, green stripe
B/BL= blue wire, black stripe

There are two wires that are B/BL.

Update in case anyone has the same question.

I went ahead and did the common sense approach (the two connectors loomed together are the two that are exclusive to the 6 port). It seems that this is the only way the wiring harness will fit correctly anyway.
