Default Idle air control valve question. (auto to manual OBD2)

ok, so i did the auto to manual swap, everything works fine, i can drive the car and everything. but it wont idle. i know its the idle air control valve. now, my question is this, how can i re-wire the 3 wire automatic harness to accept the 2 wire 5 speed idle air control valve sensor? please dont tell me i have to swap the entire harness to the del sol (97, where the motor originated) harness, because that is two peice and is somehow connected up inside the dash. i can do all this if i HAVE to but i really dont want to. please help, this and the tach, speedo, and temp guage arent working. any suggestions on those?? please help. this isnt my car is my girlfriends. and my girlfriend is a very georgeous, talented 5 speed driver and i would hate to **** her off. ive tightened the throttle cable so it idles now, but i need this done right. please help.

Brett

You will need to match the colors up on the wires, and the orange wire will not run to anything, just tape it off. Also you need to repin a12 and a14 on the manual ex ecu.

In order to switch from 3 wire to 2 wire, you will have to get a manual ECU. PM me your email and I will send you a diagram of how to wire IACV. As far as your cluster not working, take those indiglos out

All the guages you've mentioned share a common power feed from Fuse 25: Meter (7.5A) and a common ground; G401.

This fuse should be located in your under-dash box.

for your tach and ****, you have to run the green blk and yellow wires (i think thats the colors) from your tranny (speed sensor and the other sensor) into the car and splice them where the automatic wire harness plugged into the shifter, this will also give you your reverse lights. j
