Hey, looking to finally fix the butchered engine control wiring in the '82 Mark VI, and was wondering if a 1990 Lincoln Town Car harness would work for that.
I will have my dad call around tomorrow to a bunch of salvage yards that actually list the parts in wiring/electrical to get a complete engine harness. Basically need everything from the computer plug at the firewall out to all the engine sensors and such, and up to and including the EECIV test plug.
The car has been having some trouble starting recently, and it's acted up before, so I finally made an appointment to get it taken care of near the end of the week. When I was at ScottFest two years ago John tore into the harness and couldn't figure anything out on why it was running rich and we found a wire that was not connected from the transmission (hooked it up and it didn't do diddly), and in a recent thread on here it was mentioned that the transmission sensor wire not being hooked up properly can make it run pig rich and or cause the EGR to open at completely stupid times.
I'm looking to get said part ASAP, but local you-yank-it places no longer stock cars that old ('91 GM).
I was going have my dad order it tomorrow or the next day, especially if the salvage yard is willing to toss it in the mail Priority 2-3 day so I can get it in time to send it with the car for the appointment on Thursday.
But if anyone here has access to grab me one or could get one at a local yard and get it out in the mail by Tuesday I could use a PM. (or knows if the '90 Town Car harness is basically the same except needing to do the mass air wiring changes, that would be a big help) I might be able to rob that part for free, but the other harnesses are listed between $75-125.
