What do you do when you have an ecu and harness ends, but dont want to spend the money on an adapter harness? Keep in mind you are lazy, stupid, and ghetto all at the same time.

You do this:

I found this on HAN. Someone was having trouble with their em1 and the shop told them it was because he was running obd1 - it was a p28, not chipped...just straight sohc program. He bought the car this way...

I absolutely LOVE the twist connectors and rats nest of wiring.

96-00 go in the kickpanel, not under the carpet - there is a surprisingly large amount of room

crimp caps are a sound way of connecting wires but using that many is just stupid
