According to stykthyn those are the ECU harnesses that match up with the same dash harness.

stykthyn said:
87-89 I know are the same
90 not sure
91 was a stand alone year they are not compatibl with anything else
92-3 are the same.

if you have a donor car from a different year you will need all the harnesses and the ECU from the donor for it to work.

I did the 4 cyl swap and i was always under the assumption that they changed it after 90. I have a 90 harness on mine the only problem i have is that my horn dont work.

Check your horn fuse and your horn relay, do you know if the horn worked before the swap?
