I really need a 98 mtx wiring harness SOHC. Ive looked at all my surrounding junkyards and came up empty. My car has been down for a month now I really want to have running. I have paypal ready. so lmk if anyone has this item via pm or reply here. and yes I put a thread on the"want to buy" section and no onereplied, so I figured I'd try here. Thanks

 

You could use one from 97-99. Doesn't have to be a 98 specific.

 

I know, but all the neons at the junk yards around me dont have any. All they have is 95-96. They do have 97-99 cars but with not engines......go figure.

 

i can check my box of harnesses in the shed if i remember tomorrow....i know there is probally 7 or 8 of them out there, just dont know the condition of some of the clips[&:]

 

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isnt that what you told me??? I had to splice wires up my @$$ to get that thing to fit, that was from a 98 on to a 97... arent 98 and 99 the same???

 

^^^^^ Wait a sec.....is that true??[>:]
Im totally confused now.

 

as i stated before:
95-mid 96are unique to those years
mid 96-97 are more of a half breed.....share sensors with 95's and 98's
98-99 are unique to those years

there are a few ways to tell what kinda harness you need:
main difference: pcm plug, 1 large one or 2 smaller ones....from there its a bit more difficult
smaller differences:
1: fuel injector plugs, 95-96 have small metal clips that hold the plugs to the injectors....97-99 have the small red push clips
2: coil pack, 95-96 have 3 round pins....97-99 have 3 flat pins
3: vss, 95-96 have 3 round pins....97-99 have 3 flat pins
4: iac, 95-96 use a metal clip to hold the sensor in place....97-99 have a regular finger push clip

just a few differences, i think there is 1 or 2 more, but this is the best i can do off the top of my head[&:]

 

Yes I did as well as others. From what I understand, some 98-99 wiring harnesses will swap right in...others need to be spliced.

I guess I should start making that more clear now.

 

Yeah, I want to buy 1 thats a quick swap, no splicing.
So if anyone has one lmk, ill take it off your hands[8D]

 

just depends on what i wrote that will make it a direct swap.....honestly, i thought they were the same too until i started ripping apart my last donor car
