    That’s why I’m here
    I apparently got to close to a wire while grinding today and of course it’s not just a simple wire. What am I dealing with? And ideas on how to fix it?
    Wires run out of a loom top driver side of the engine down behind the coil bucket and splits into 2 different looms. Wire looks to be a “shielded” type with outer insulation(blue), conductor, inner insulation (white), conductor. Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd probably cut out the damage, splice it back together with a crimp barrel splice, and cover with rigid glue lined shrink (SCL).

    I was going to just crimp it back together but with what seems to be a double layer wire I don’t think it’s that easy

    Ok thanks that’s what I was thinking.
    Can’t be any harder than making up a primary distribution splice.
