so i tried pluging in the harness and the injector plugs didnt even fit. any suggestions
If I read correctly his Runner didn't come w/a motor, so he doesn't have the '95 equipment.IIRC, the '92+ injectors have a different impedance than the pre-'92, so even if you do happen to figure out a way to connect the injectors they wont likely work. The rest of the sensors should be the same.Using an '88 wiring harness and ecu, would make things a lot easier for you. I am guessing that since the engine is older than the Runner you don't have to smog check your vehicles.
I don't know where you are located, but isn't there some rule about not being able to swap in an older motor eventhough its the same 3.0L v6?
^^True, generally speaking. However the '95 would be OBDII, while the '88 is non-OBDII. I think even the slowest of smog techs would catch that.
Are you sure it was OBDII in 95? Or did it change with the body style in 96?
The knock sensor is the wire that comes out from underneath the lower intake manifold. The sensor itself is screwed into the block in the valley between the heads. If/when you swap engines, replace the knock sensor. Its like $30, and it really sucks to put the engine all the way in, and find out you're geting a knock code, when nothing is really wrong. When you get the knock sensor, just get the one for the '95, it'll thread into the block no problem. IIRC, I had a couple of other wiring connections that weren't quite right, but I just cut and spliced connectors from either the donor harness, or off the components I was replacing from my truck ('91) I also put in an '88 v6.
