you will need a computer for mass air. you will need the harness,also.Try to go to a junk yard and you might get lucky I found a computer for 25 bucks and sold it for 125.It turn out to be a 9al computer.So try to find one in the junk yard. Get the whole wirring you wont pay more than 100 buck in the yard.

I've used the IST mass-air harness in a few vehicles. It's not OEM, but it's $40 and does the job
