Picture of SPOUT

Does anyone have a picture of the spout connector? I did a search but the pic won't open (red x in box). Thanks.

The SPOUT plug is the 1/2" wide, gray plug in the electrical line off the harness to the CID sensor.

On a side note...a while back I dynoed my '92 MTX with the SPOUT removed. It put down a whopping 65HP to the wheels. Yes 65 !

Thanks for the pic. Now it's time to pull it and go off to the sniffer test.

What is this cable for or do? Did I interpret it correctly...there was an increase in horsepower with this cable unplugged? Please clarify..Thanks. :corn:

 

[HyperMikeD!]

NO INCREASE ! That was the total HP.

what does the spout connector do?

It's simply an in-line switch within the SPOUT circuit that runs between the PCM and the DIS Module.

Pulling the SPOUT connector causes the DIS Module to fire the coils directly from the PIP signal (instead of of using the SPOUT signal from the PCM). This results in a fixed spark angle of 10 degrees BTDC, as well as a fixed dwell.

Not the kind of timing that you'd want, performance-wise.

Thanks for the pic. Now it's time to pull it and go off to the sniffer test.

Lets hope you pass, because im going with that same plan tomorrow.
