I have a '98 v6 auto Contour. Can I use any newer automatic model harness as a direct drop-in?
I've attempted to repair my harness by grafting in connectors from a '99 manual trans harness. I'm guessing that I've missed something or botched up something in the repair process, because the injectors are not firing. I'm getting spark. If I shoot a shot of starting fluid in the tube between the air meter and the throttle body, it does fire.
The only reason I'm messing with the harness is that I had to do an engine swap after a spun rod bearing. The harness was a mess, so I decided to make repairs before re-install. Everything is hooked back up from what I can tell.
What else would cause injectors to not fire? I swapped out the cam sensor and that made no difference.
I'm probably going to get my harness repaired, but if I can find a good harness cheaper, I'd like to do that. I'm cash-poor at the moment and need to get this car back on the road.
If anyone lives near the Dayton OH area and is looking for a challenge, stop by. I'll buy the beer.
Thanks,
Tony
