Camaro V8-5.7L VIN G (1998)
If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape.
Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For example, two-conductor cable of this construction is
used between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the distributor.
Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket
Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar tape.
Step 2: Unwrap the Tape
Unwrap the aluminium/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted conductors after the splices have been made.
The Untwisted Conductors
Step 3: Prepare the Splice
Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger
splices to avoid shorts.
Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable
After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape.
The Re-assembled Cable
Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape.
