Make sure to check the VSS. Because if you took it out of an EG then it is probably a 2 wire VSS, and 96-00 models need a 3 Wire VSS. If you have a 3 wire VSS in the tranny atm, then its either a fuse or the wiring is fkd up somewhere.

'92 - '95 VSS are also a 3 wire, they work the same. '92 - '95 have a plastic top half and a metal bottom half, '96 - '00 are 1 piece plastic.

OP what did you use for an engine harness.
