Splicing EDIS Harness for MegaJolt

[red5]

I got my EDIS module from e-Bay the other day. Some bits of the wiring harness have me a little confused as to how they should be handled:

Before splicing in my own shielded wire, should I trim the EDIS wires just behind the green/red, orange and grey sheathing? This looks to me like stuff left over from its previous installation. Obviously don't want to remove something I shouldn't. First time dealing with solid state ignition components so I'm a little paranoid Thanks.

Just pull sheathing off and leave wires as long as they are.... If you start cutting and you have to change things suddenly wires are to short, not good..... A few inches of sheathing either way will probably not make much difference....

OK, thanks Dale. I figured that was the case, but better safe than sorry.

That sheathing is actually shielding for noise suppression. You will probably want to get more of that to connect the whole system to your megajolt as well as to the sensor and such.

Yeah, I've already bought new shielded wiring that I'll use to hook up the crank sensor and other connections. I just wanted to masked sure I could remove the original shielding without causing any problems

Okay cool. You'll be fine, just copy what they did with the shielding.
