Sorry for the newb question, but I am only asking to learn.

Car = 98 DX Hatch
Motor = 99 JDM ITR
Harness = 98 EX (I think - Bought it over a year ago)

I just got around to installing the EX harness in the motor and everything seems to plug in except into the IAT sensor. The plug on the EX harness and the plug on the IAT sensor are different.

My first thought is to just hack off the plug on the JDM harness and splice it into the EX harness, but then I got second thoughts.

1. Any problems with doing it this way or did I miss something?
2. Is this a normal procedure when doing a swap (splicing in the JDM IAT plug)?
3. How much modifying of the EX harness had to be done in
order to get it to fit into the ITR motor? I hacked the hell out of the electrical tape on the harness and retaped quite a bit of it to get it to reach properly.

Thanks for your patience and help in advance.

Yes the EK and Integra have different IAT sensors, the EK is in the intake tube but the Integra is on the manifold. First unpin the 2 wires from the IAT sensor on the EK harness and do the same for the ITR plug. The plug from the ITR should be able to be repinned with the EK wires, if not then you'll need to splice it on.

Thank you sir. That was the route I was hoping to take. I don't like cutting and splicing.
