ecu help

[Raul96tt]

What if I took a 95 wire harness and put in my 96? Would that work? im trying to run the aem stand alone ECU so I can program it myself. or what else can i do for a programable ecu by me?

I don't think so, I believe the 96 did away with the VTC which means you need 96 only

ya but if they did away with it, if i buy the aem ems i should be able to delete that out of the stand alone unit. right thanks Raul

if you plan to run stand alone then you just need a harness compatible with your ems, not familiar with aem but for some stand alones the harness doesnt' matter, get some pigtails and make a harness

If you have a 96, VTC will be restored as soon as you install a 90-94 ECU or standalone. If you use a 90-94 ECU, they use different connectors so you will have to build a harness adaptor or splice in a pre-OBDII connector on your 96 harness. Every 96 I have seen had the VTC solenoids installed, they just sit there in one position with the 96 stock software.

This site tells you exactly what to do as well as selling tune chips that work on 96:

I think that this route is esier (and less $$$) than a standalone. Sure, controlling a standalone with your laptop is very cool.
