I recently bought a WRX SL 2.5 UK Spec on auction. It has been swapped with a EJ20 motor, not sure what one (guessing it's the 205). I have a a few sensors and wires that are not connected and would appreciate it if you guys could help me out.

This is the first connector that I don't know what it was/should be used for. It is located by the Battery.59348b430a0b9_DSC_01431.thumb.JPG.3a2c099f644228417d0b1282ff013385.JPG59348b1149017_DSC_01422.thumb.JPG.ea21f18fa445e85e1a2a3d705c6242d4.JPG

 This is another sensor that is located towards the front of the engine by the oil cap.

I also have this weird contraption just above their air filter, I have no clue what it is.

And the final plug is this pink one.

And I have a picture of the engine if that helps.

Not sure about all the plugs but that thing by the airbox looks like a 2port boost solenoid and i don't think it should be held on with a cable tie lol it should bolt on to a bracket around that area 👍

Haha, cheers for identifying 1 part. What is the point of a boost solenoid?

Yep boost solenoid controls the boost via vaccum lines attached to the turbo outlet ,wastegate and inlet/intake .

 

 

The plug by the Battery looks like a classic (pre 2000) icv (idle control valve ) ive never worked on anything but classics so unsure if it needs to be plugged in on yours .

 

 

The sensor by the oil filler is a classic cam position sensor . If not plugged in on a classic it won't start or will go into limp mode if faulty .

 

 

No idea what the pink plug is for im afraid .

 

 

If the engine loom is newage (2000 onwards) the plug by the Battery might be for a newage cam sensor ?

 

 

Does it run ?

 

P.s had a second look at the plug by the Battery and it could be aircon plug ?

Maybe 1 of the newage boys would know for sure

Yes it runs but takes a good 5 seconds to start up.

I doubt it's the air con plug since the air con works flawlessly.
