i have a 95 accord and got a good deal on the same engine out a 96 accord that was wrecked. Its the 2.2 vtec, ok so i took the old engine out and switched the wiring harness over to the new motor because the guy just cut the other one to get it out quick and while i was wiring it up i noticed there are acouple sensors that are differnt, i figured out if i changed the intake manifold from the old one to the new one it would fix one of the problems i was having with some vaccum lines not working together and to get the sensor under the coil. The problems i am having is the plugs on the distribtor are differnt so can i just change distribtors? and on the pulley side of the engine on the bottom a sensor comes out of the engine and mounts right near where the water pump is located what is that sensor and am i gonna have to get the other wiring harness to be able to use this engine? Please help

95 is obd1 and 96 is obd2 you will need a conversion harness....im sure others can help you more

i did some research on this now, do i have this correct if i use a wiring harness from a 96 i should be all set just need to get the conversion harness to hook it up to the ecu and still use the obd2 distributor from the 96 engine

which harness should i get? and would i still need the harness if i used a obd2 ecu? by the way i have a automatic transmission i know that makes a differnce, im trying to put a new transmission in my car at the same time so the engine and transmission would both be obd2

the way i understand it that would work....96 harness with the conversion harness
