This is such bull****, how the **** did any of you do this conversion, i havn't even gotten the harness through that stupid ****in peice of **** gromet, that is so ****in wedged up under the dash that i can't even get up there w/ my hand, how the hell did you guys do this stupid feed??? Oh yea, and once i finally do get it through, i'll be askin more questiosn cuz i ain't leavin here till it's done tonight. I do NOT want to have to drill because i have no idea where the hole will end up coming out, i want to use that stupid gromet, but i'm so pissed i feel like takin a **** in the gromet lol thanks - who the **** said this was easy install, they must be superman installers

I'm assuming you mean the grommet to the firewall? Take the grommet off the fire wall, run your wiring through it, then reinstall the grommet. This is the best method i've found when grommets are in the way.

Regarding removing the grommet and then running the wiring through, one would think that the sheetmetal would eventually rub through the wire insulation.

No, No, what i mean is run it through the grommet then plug the grommet back in. All other things i've done involving grommets ive done this way and worked like a charm.

got it through the gromet - and its nowhere to be ****ING found - i can't ****in beleive how ****in hard this is turnin out to be, i used a coat hangar, than i used a hand reamer to ream out the gormet hole i poked, and now it goes through w/o a hangar, but still can't find the wire to pull on it from inside the car, or the coat hangar, i even took out the dash only to find out that that big jerk off thing that is in my way at the bottom, is still in my ****ing way, and this is like the biggest pain in the ass - especially when everyone says how god damn easy it is - im am like furious lol

If memory serves me correctly, remove the computer, and reach up between the dash and the side of the kick panel and it should be up and towards the firewall from there...

NOPE!! LOL THats EXACTLY what i thought, thats what i though logically, however, the god damn thing ended up being BEHIND the heater, not next to it, i was doin it myself, than my buddy stopped by and i said yo wiggl the **** out of that wire n he did, and the thing hit my hand, and my heart said, GLORY!!!!!

is there like a seperate hole for the 89-93 cars where it is supposed to go??

OK got that fished, now i'm scared to go on, no idea how to deal w/ those pins - ne ideas? which pin does the green wire go to lol
and the black wire and one other one don't have pin things on the end, so do i have to get some?? only two, pin 9 accepts one, and i dont know what to do
thanks

HOW DO I GET THE EEC PINS INTO THE HOLE??? I am pushing and pushing, and all i'm doin is bending it- i cant get it to go in... what the frig.... it's one thing after another w/ this dumb install - and i found out wat to do w/ the red and black wires, it's simple - so i'm not worried about those, its the white wire that goes in pin 50, and i cannot get it into the pinhole.... i am losing my patients... i already ****ed my hand up pretty good, wasted like 3 rolls of electrical tape, ruine like 2 hangars, scratched my engine bay a little bit, i'm gonna kill somebody - so please, how do i get this pin in lol any tricks, should i lube the mother ****kker up??

i broke my last pin, and the other one the wire came out of... bad bad day... i need to buy about 100 new ones, so i get 100 shots at it... i took the red H pinlock off, that was the initial problem, but i had already done the damage by then... i hate this small electrical ****, i can't wait till this job is done...
