| If it's the same sized motor / same fuel injection setup, it should fit. It might be the easist to swap out the parts and see if it starts. If it does, you're done; if it doesn't work, you'll have to check the computer codes.
YOu can do the latter with a commercial code reader, or I seem to recall that there was a way you could interrogate the computer with an analog multimeter (ie one that has a needle output instead of digital).
With the analog multimeter you basically count the needle swipes: for example, three quick swipes followed by a pause with two more needle swipes = code 32 . . .then you look the code up. I think your system puts out 3 digit codes (instead of the 2 digit example I gave you). Beware though, one code failure can lead to other code failures - - so that when you fix the primary culprit, all the other error codes go away.
If your system is what I recall, you have a test connector under the hood - usually on the driver's side fender. Anyhow, if you choose to use the analog multimeter method, shut off the ignition and do the following:
You have to hook up a hot wire between the ground and trigger (both should be marked on the test connector), and take the negative probe of the multimeter and put it into the self-test output (on the test connector), and take the positive probe of the multimeter and connect it to the positive post on your battery. Turn the key "on." After the initial hard codes, the system will flash a code 111, and then flash a series of soft codes. Write down the codes, do it again and verify you have the correct numbers. You will probably have 3 digit codes - - you can then look them up and see what you have.
Good Luck! |
