I've gotten myself into a mess on this one. I can't ever tell someone no if it it is possible for me to help and they ask. I'm gonna get over that one day.
My neighbor totalled his 98 with the 2.5 about a year ago. A few months ago he purchased a 98 body that originally had the 4.0 in it and enlisted a mechanic to do the swap for him. Three months have passed and the job is still not done, this is where I come in. He has asked that I take a look see. It seems that it is now running, but very roughly.
here is what I know so far
both bodies are 98 year model
the mechanic did not swap in the 2.5 harness with the engine, and is currently runnning the engine with the 4.0 computer and cutting and splicing the harness as necessary.
My first instinct is to remove any "hack job wiring" and replace the computer and wiring harness altogether with the intact 2.5 units. Does this sound like a winning plan? Are there any differences in chassis wiring that the 4cyl comp will have problems with?
