Swappable electrical connectors
The LSJ engine harness has 3 purple 8 pin connectors, that can accidentally be swapped, also 2 purple 5 pin connectors that
can be swapped. All within short proximity of each other, leaving you with a non running goblin. Yikes!
The secret is to pay attention to the color of the wires that enter & exit each purple connector.
The 3 swappable 8 pin connectors:
1. Engine to Body harness has a purple 8 pin connector:
The female 8 pin purple connector that is on the same cable as the supercharger bypass solenoid (described in
post 316) goes to
the male 8 pin purple connector that is on the same cable that goes to two underside connectors on the fuse box. This connector only has 7 wires on it.
2. Coil packs cable also has this same 8 pin connector.
3. Throttle body has a purple 8 pin connector:
The throttle body connects to the female (2 below) that is on a cable that also goes to the MAP sensor (1 below).
The underside of the intake throttle body has a hard mounted male 8 pin connector.
The 2 swappable 5 pin connectors:
1. Fuel Injector harness a purple 5 pin connector:
2. Mass Air Flow has a purple 5 pin connector:

If I recall correctly the trans reverse switch plug and the boost solenoid have the same connector and are close enough to be mixed up, and if I recall correctly twice in a row, will lead to the reverse lights being on all the time. Don't ask me how I know.
