I am trying to hide some wires under the hood, and I was moving the WOT relay that is on the passanger side of the engine bay (under the mass air meter) and I noticed that the wires were messed up. I have deleted my heater, a/c and cruise control, do I need to fix my wiring harness and use it, or can I leave it out? Has anyone else removed there WOT relay? Please let me know what I need to do if you know. Thanks

I wouldn't try it as the wot relay is in the vpwr circuit for the computer. Same circuit as the eec and fuel relays as well as the fuel pump inertia switch. Perhaps JRichther can give a better answer, but as I see it, unless you fool the system, you may cause bigger issues....

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think I need the relay itself, but it may be completing a circuit somewhere else. Thanks. Anyone else?
