I am looking for an Eccentric shaft position sensor pig tail connector. Send me pics and price shipped. Need it ASAP to finish a customer car.

 

You will need the whole engine harness, unless you can find someone who is willing to cut it.

 

That's what I'm looking for someone to do from a parts car.

 

PM'd re: alternative pigtail connector

My only concern is that the ESS uses very small gauge wire and could (seemingly?) be very sensitive to resistance.

I've read posts on here where people have had to shim their ESS with thousandth of an inch spacers to quell phantom misfire DTC's... it makes me wonder what different gauges of wire soldered together and the resultant change in resistance from factory spec are going to do to the way the PCM interprets the signal?

Anybody who's actually soldered an ESS pigtail care to pipe in?

EDIT: attached pic shows coolant level sensor pigtail plugged into a spare ESS. Note 14 gauge (AWG) wire on the coolant sensor pigtail

 

Ive never heard of that in 7+ years of racing and ownership, sounds like BS to me

I have one

 

The PCM probably just reads the frequency not the amplitude of the signal..

 

PM sent

 

+1, I have never heard of anyone having any real problems with the ESS other than braking the bolt off in the front cover or tearing up the wires.

 

Thanks for the quick replys. Didn't think I would find one so fast. If the one I bought is not good for some reason, then I will contact the next guy. Thanks again.

 

Team was calling BS on using the coolant level sensor plus on the ess.

I cannot confirm if that molex plug is the same. That said a plug is a plug and if it fits it will not change the voltage picking up from the ess.

You can get away with an extra 2 feet of sensor wire, after that the voltage will start getting choppy.

If the ESS sensor had voltage of its own (was powered by another source), you could in theory run a loop around the whole vehicle with no issues.

 

The plug is the same. The picture I attached to my post further up proves that it fits. I don't know how else to prove this.

I thought he was talking more about the ESS being sensitive to resistance / causing potential misfire DTC's by increasing the resistance on the circuit.

 

The only thing I could see causing a problem is whether or not the ESS connector is shielded. Some ignition signals are sensitive to EMI and can cause noise in the input to the ECU. May not be a big deal, any ideas?

 

Its not shielded its a two wire cable.
