I am attemting to put a 94 z motor into a 96z car, I have both harnesses,both cpu's, I see that the 94 uses a different coil and icm. is splicing the harness connectors from the 94 to the 96 the way to go or is there another option?

 

keep everything from the car you are putting the motor in.

 

I don't have the motor for the 96.I bought it without.i can get the icm and coil new.looks like the coil to distributer wire is different,so idont know if I should make a coil wire or splice in the connectors...any suggestions?

 

the coil end on the coil wire for the 94 is male the 96 is female.

 

use a 96 ignition coil module. if i remember right obd2 uses different voltage. imo you dont want use the 94 obd1 system.

 

Just pretend the 94 engine is a 96, and equip it that way. Then get the check engine error code (for the 94 not having a crank sensor) tuned out of the computer.

 

how difficult is it to put the 94 harness and cpu into the 96? would I have to change gauge cluster,would the 94 run the dashboard ,A/C,VATS,gauges ect...

 

The car is a 96 (OBD2). The wiring needs to be 96. The computer needs to be 96. I don't know why you would want to try and swap the incompatible 94 OBD1 stuff into your car. The only thing that's going to be different is the engine. And the difference between the two engines is the lack of a crank sensor on the 94. The style difference of the opti is of no consequence.
