Main engine control wiring harness from an automatic compatible on a manual?

[chrisn82]

I haave a problem with my 96 Maxnima. The engine temp gauge started fluttering on my way to work the other day, then it stalled. I got it started back up but the problem has gotten worse and worse and now it is undriveable due to the constant stalling . I managed to get the car to the dealer service center, they ran a diagnostic and the tech said he was really confident that there is a short in the main engine control wire harness.

Well...the car isn't even worth dealer price for that part. I managed to track one down at the pick'n'pull that looks to be in good shape, and they gave me a 30 day warranty/return on the thing. So i went ahead and picked it up.

Problem is, it came off an automatic and mine is a manual. I've noticed that there are a few extra connectors on the one I picked up. It has a large blue connector that looks to go to some sort of computer unit (auto trans?) and then one or two smaller white connections.

Anybody know if I can use it as is or if I can mod it a little to get the job done?

The replacement part came from a 96 DOHC Maxima as well.

thanks!

just found out it is definitely not compatible.
