I was surprised by how easy it was to use the factory harness. There is lots of info on the pre 1996 OBD 1 engines like you have. Not much on the 96 I used.

If I remember correctly the only Thing I had a problem with was the VSS. But I read that the early ones, like yours, usually run fine with out it. I found a web site that listed all the computer part numbers that would work without a VSS. You could check yours against that list to see if you need one.

The only active codes I have are for the rear o2 sensor, Which I don't think you have ( the car runs fine without it) and a code for the engine fan relay.

So I don't think you will have to "fake" any signals.

that's great... thanks...

can't wait to rip that engine out of that car gently
