For anyone doing this with diyautotune built connectors, trubokitty's guide for the MS mainboard are little different. Make sure that you match function with function rather than with color and pin number. Especially the shielded crank input connector. The white/black in this guide (MS pin 24) is just the white within the shielded pair, and your first signal ground will be the just black wire paired with the white one in the shielded casing. Your second signal ground will be the white/black. Hope this helps someone in the future!
@@JesseWWPCo depending on the year it might be another place, 9 and 10 for example. Lookup your harness on trubokitty.com and look for chassis grounds. These are grounds for higher powered things like solenoids or fans. In your oem harness they will connect to one of the chassis grounds either in the engine bay or on the ppf.
I noticed 1H (BATT from fuel injection fuse) and 1A (BATT room fused) aren't connected to MS or X. Are they assuming we are still running a new main relay, new fuel pump relay, new power wire, new fuse box? Or do we use the OEM main relay, main power wire, etc etc with this Trubokitty tutorial. Did you end up using the oem power wire and essentially make this as PNP as possible?
I got mine from mouser.com but sometimes they go out of stock and you have to search around by the part number. I found this which will sell them individually: www.alliedelec.com/te-connectivity-178764-1/70284347
Also if you have an 90 through 95 you can do a smaller 48 pin connector: www.onlinecomponents.com/olcmobile/te-connectivity-amp-brand/1749177-10264022.html
You can skip this harness build if you get thebplug and play ms3pro. But the base pre built ms3x will have just the standard generic rs232 connectors. So you'd have to build this harness to use your factory loom or else make new wiring to the engine and various sensors.
I did it for my 1.8, but the process is the same. Check out the wiring diagram at trubokitty.com. The 1.6 can use this connector (64 pin) or you can use a 48 pin connector.
Tinning the wire ends ensures both a good joint as well as making it really easy. This is especially necessary when there's no mechanical connection like when you solder a wire to a straight pin. Solder on both sides helps the heat to be transmitted more effectively and is well worth the second it takes to do.
@@OGPedXing you are still doing it wrong tin is for the solder iron tip not wire. It's not the right information that you are giving out . You wood not do that on a plane. That my 2since
@@NB-im6od When connecting two pieces like a pin to a wire, having solder on both sides makes this an easy process and reduces the chance of a cold joint. This technique is pretty common practice and works great.

Cool, thanks for the tip!
Ben D. Where do the grounds “MS 8&9” come from? My db37 doesn’t have anything in those pins

Where did you find the white connector? I have searched but everyplace I have found requires to order a couple thousand.

Is it possible to skip the previous step by buying the prebuilt MS3 with MS3X expansion from DIYAutotune?

@@OGPedXing Thanks for the info! Love your videos!
nice
This is for the 1.6???

WHY are you running the wires, you only tin solder gun tip
