IMS Guardian Install - Tips, Tricks, Miscellanea

[PhilNZ]

Thanks good post..I finished my IMS Guardian install today. Did it in 4 stages and combined it with some routine maintenance. I drove the car regularly between each stage and it took me about about 3 weeks total time, about half a day each stage.

Stage 1 MCD install, sump inspect, oil and filter change, used oil analysis.
Stage 2 Switch install and connect wires to fuse box.
Stage 3 Thread wires into engine compartment, air filter change, power steering fluid check.
Stage 4 Connect wires to MCD unit secure wiring under car, cabin filter change.

All good, car running well. Thanks Jake for a great idea and kit for monitoring our engines.

What's the proper position for the red, white and black wires in the weatherproof connector? Coloured wires were scotch-taped to the connector, presumably as indicators, but they fell out when I opened the package. No indication in the video or manual.

For completeness, here is the answer I got from Mr Raby and crew:

The black wire will insert into the "B" embossed side of the connector (look hard - it's there). The red wire with the white trace will insert into the "A" embossed side of the connector.

If you look at the wires on the other plug, match the black wire to the black wire.
