91 240sx idle control valve

Ok so heres the deal. I have a 1991 nissan 240sx and I want to replace the idle control valve cause I've cleaned it a couple times and only last for a month now doesn't change anything. The problem is everyone I seen on-line and at the parts store and the one I ordered have different plugs. The unit looks identical except for the plugs, but theres no other one to get. 89-90 hand the single overhead cam which the icv unit looks different but the plugs looks the same as mine. Being 91 was the first year of the duel cam motor I can only assume they must have changed the plug ends after my year and went to a different style. I called nissan and they say that part has been discontinued and theres a new part but you have to buy some new wiring harness for like $200 also. So I guess I'm answering my own question but has anyone else ran into this cause I've searched all over the web and seems I'm the only one talking about it. There has to be a better and cheaper way to go then that..

I just got done building a sr20det that had an s13 harness running a s14 head with the vvt deleted. We just found a plug in the wrecking yard and snipped it, went home and wired it up so end result s14 sr iacv working on a s13 harness and ecu. It's only 2 wires and works great.

Thats what I was thinking about doing. Just wasn't sure if something was different.
