wireing disaster Reply #46 – March 16, 2009, 08:18:20 PM not even sure ill go back to the salvage yard and look 2marow but im not sure if that car even had a motor in it Quote Selected
wireing disaster Reply #47 – March 16, 2009, 08:22:26 PM Well if it's from a 5.0, most of the wires won't work i think, at least the engine harness. Quote Selected
wireing disaster Reply #48 – March 16, 2009, 08:26:17 PM Just look at the vin # to see if its a V6 or V8 car. The 8th digit is the engine code. The V8 car had a "F" and the V6 had "3 or 4". Good luck Quote Selected
wireing disaster Reply #49 – March 16, 2009, 09:48:40 PM I also heard that the 88 v-6 wiring harness is very close to the same as an 88 5.0. If there is any way to do it, I would get one out of at least an 88car. I would definately make sure it is a v-6 if it were me, mostly because that engine and electronics set up was only done for 1 year. Quote Selected

wireing disaster Reply #51 – March 16, 2009, 10:11:25 PM actually haystack,the 87 and down CFI harness is prob the best bet. with emission solenoids aside, the 87 harness only has two injectors while the 88 has six (nothing you dont already know,,just talkin here).the 88 harness ties three injectors back to the same computer pin while the other three injectors land on another single computer pin exactly like the CFI.To use an 87 v6 harness on an 88 v6 car, you would just have to extend the injector harness out two more positons per bank.Post up what harness you "CAN GET" and let us know.

wireing disaster Reply #52 – March 17, 2009, 12:09:16 AM so will the 87 harness and wires work on my 88 as long as there both 3.8 v6 Quote Selected
wireing disaster Reply #53 – March 17, 2009, 08:53:15 AM It should, I'm pretty sure there wasn't any huge changes between the two. Just hold on to your old harness to make sure they are all the same. Quote Selected

wireing disaster Reply #55 – March 18, 2009, 04:53:21 PM i got the old wires all out of the car and now all i need is a new wire harness this has got to be the hardest part ive ben to three salvage yards i pulled wires out of an 87 and turns out the wires dont match think it was a 5.0 and i need a 3.8 but i cant find the complete wire harness to the 3.8 anywhere iv called every salvage yard n the phone book and looked in all the do-it yourself yards and still came up with nothing and the ones who ship it new want 565! way past my budget if any one knows how i can get ahold to the complete wire harness PLEASEE let me know!!
