Just wondering if anyone knows the exact size of the spade terminal you must use to undertake the engine self test precedure.
I could only find 6.3mm terminals in my shed but they were too big.

3mm wire should fit nicely, or even better use the pointy end on a pen light voltage tester.

Hmm but seriously, why go to the effort of buying some connectors which are about $6 a packet when you only ever need to check it once in a blue moon.

donuts no offence but the self test is an easy way to see if the computer has logged any sensor faults,orrrr you can test every single freakin sensor yourself instead!!ps those spades are bloody tiny!

Yeah I know that, I just mean a piece of wire will do the same job thats all!

Those bloody connectors are expensive

Well I actually plan to make up a wire, ie solder the alligator clip to one end and a spade terminal to the other and keep it so I can check the timing at every service interval.
