Ok here's your help-- The dropping resistor for the automatic transmission is on the very end of the harness where the plugs that need to be rewired are. You don't need it, cut it off. The plug for the dropping resistor is right next to the plug for the igniter. It's about the size of a quarter. It would be very helpful if you could post a layout of your harness in a pic.

Here is an example--

#11 is the dropping resistor plug and the automatic dropping resistor is right above #9

Only way it would be a LHD harness is if you got it from mainland Europe. As for the ECU, it could be a bunch of different numbers. 78,79,98,99 are the most popular.

Yeah, you definitely need to post pics. I don't think you have a CA harness or ECU.
