ok as some of you may know im trying to do a 2.3t swap at the moment and im not the greatest at wiring and i need some help personally i was wondering if anyone could come down and help me figure the wiring aspect out. keep in mind im 17 so trying to do this at my age is a bigger task than some older people that have more experience.

If the computer is giving you trouble. Flip the connection over and on the side the wires come in there are numbers. These are the connector numbers. Remove the orange piece by prying the two pieces that you can see from the back. Then on the front side there are some little retainers that you need to get at to remove the pins. I will post some pictures for you about mid day tomorrow.

The ignition wiring is easier than the computer wiring. Just take all of the wires out of both dis plugs and match the colors with stingers instructions. I just did this in my 1993 convertible last week.

If you send a private message to Matt Culpepper on here, he will rewire your harness for a reasonable fee. He's in Northern VA.

Fry an ecu or a harness from improper wiring and you'll be out more money than having him do the harness.
Regardless, we can't help without knowing specifically what you can't figure out. As it says on the page, if you don't understand what is supposed to be done by reading the swap page, you would be best advised to do additional research and only attempt the swap when your skills/understanding is high enough to accomplish it.
