Default 96-98 Cobra owners please help !

I did a 4v swap and I finally have most of the wiring done to make the Imrc's and secondary air injectionwork. The only part I do not have is the wiring from the power distribution box that runs next to the radiator and plugs in to the ecu wiring. The people at my local Ford stealership do not know what this part is called. ( Ithink that they are special) Could someone please look on their wiring and try to find some numbers to identify this wiring.
Thank you for reading this.

I was going to do that but I need my secondary air injection to work to pass smog. The 2 codes that are going to fail me are p1519 and p0412 secondary air injection failure and imrc failure.(Where I live the is a ecu scan in the smog test as well as a functional test.[sm=smiley13.gif] )They are both on the same wires so I figured why not keep them.Also my carSHOULD be even faster with 4.30's and imrc's rather then one or the other.

off topic if u deleted the IMRCs and the seconary air system, and plan on getting a dyno tune, just use the GT computer and u wont have a problem with the CEL scan.

That sounds like a good temporary fix but I already have so much money in the wiring , ecuand gauges.Would the gt computer say that the secondary air injection is functional? The smog test where I live is quite strict they make sure there is no CEL and then they check all systems throughthe ecuand it supossedlytells them if everything is functional then after that they check to make sure I have cats then they check my timing and then comes the sniffer.At least thats how they checked my van.

Im running the GT ecu in my swap, i have no CEL for the sair system because the gt computer doesnt even know its supposed to exist. Yes your tuner could correct the problem, IF you have IMRC deletes, the gt computer cannot open the IMRC which will rob you big horse when they dont open. As far as ordering a 96-98 cobra part like that wirring from ford, its a 99.9% chance that they cant get it, just like the throttle cable and other nit pick parts people need when doing the swap.
