That location shouldn't have realized 300* f.  I think they sent you the wrong stuff.  Are any other pieces melted?

No.  I have a bunch of loom, in there.  This piece runs over the exhaust.

Fairly sure I lost.  It was rather disheartening, seeing that loom all melted, again.

Maybe some of that heat wrap would help.

Is that from the past leak? Isn’t that corrected now?

Leak?  It's just melted loom.  At the moment, there don't seem to be any leaks.

The EGR is not currently leaking.  As far as I can tell.

The melted part of the loom is about an inch above where the leak was.  The melted part appears to correspond to the EGR tube.

Originally, I think the wires from the coil to the distributor that were in that area had a woven insulating sleeve over them.

I'm trying this again, with the loom.  I got high-temp loom, which has a grey stripe on it.

I have red plug wires, but am not stuck on them.  Any better color?  Blue and yellow are out.

The high-temp looms are installed.  Unfortunately, I can't really test, until after a few rains.

My AC compressor has 2 leaks, so needs to be replaced.  Gotta love these parts that don't last 2 years.

I am concerned about testing the AC with temps in the 30's.  I had always been told not to run the AC below 40 degrees.  The heater is running in the garage, so hopefully it warms up.
