[andy585]

i took a few photos of my engine bay as the are a few thing that i dont have a clue what they are for heres the pics

looks like a switch for the engine lid ???


whats this wire its not connected to the alarm and seems to run in through the cam belt cover??? also look at the hole that goes in to the boot why would that be done ?? can anyone read jap on the cambelt cover ??


also is this pipe meant to be blocked off ??

also do you think the spark plugs need changed as they are a little black ??


dont worry i have ordered some ngk plugs [/list]

Top pic looks like an alarm switch though il check later, can't say I've noticed on mine to be honest,

wire with the loop looks like an abs wire.

Intake manifold should be plugged yes.

The black pipe you have photographed alongside the cambelt cover, could you take another photo but a bit further back, looks like its not connected?

Picture 1, I would also say the switch is for the alarm, to protect the engine bay.
Picture 3, would say something like refer to service manual to renew timing belt. Also timing belt last changed dd/mm/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy depending on the japanese date format looks like 1st nov 2006 or 11th jan 2006, also states kilometres when changed 70????? Maybe time for a new one! And if your getting new plugs you might as well change them.

Aftermarket imobiliser switch to detect engine lid being opened.



Looks like an earth lead.



Looks like date and mileage of last belt change



also is this pipe meant to be blocked off ?? Yes




Looks ok in the picture, test for spark- is it strong? Check the gap.

The hole that goes through to the boot is where the alarm was bolted to, there should be a threaded hole there but over time the weight of the alarm fractures the metal and the alarm falls off!! My MR2 has a hole in exactly the same place
