I'm at the last stages of my engine rebuild, and I unfortunately didn't take any photos before disassembling the top wiring loom. It connects to the WUR, some top valves around the vacuum lines, and has a few connectors beneath the throttle body.

The issue is, no matter now I orient the thing, the plugs won't fit. I'm assuming the colors of the harness matches the corresponding plugs (black, tan, blue, red), but I cannot figure out how to route it.

It's in the shop to finish up some things, and the mechanic can't seem to figure out the routing either. (shame on me for not taking photos, I know).

Does anyone have some photos of the top of an S1 that specifically show how that loom is routed? And which plugs go where? Any reference would be incredibly helpful in finishing this thing up.

Thanks!

Yes...colour of plugs on the harness match colour of male plugs..
Harness runs across the back of the motor and then down under the injectors.

Ok, that's good to know:
- the red plug in the front doesn't have a female connector that I can see
- even if I do that, it doesn't seem to reach every one
- do you have a photo reference? That would be super helpful
