Personally I would buy Russ a two way ticket to cali and back, and a couple hundred dollars for a mini vacation...because he's the man.

Russ is pretty much the only guy in the S chassis world where this much nutswinging is acceptable.

Srsly, he knows his S chassis shit, your S chassis shit, and everybody else's S chassis shit forwards and backwards.

Man love central in here.

I checked Courtesy's site, they list the engine harness as NLA. You may get lucky and find one in a warehouse still in stock, but a new one is usually about $680-700 retail. It would of course be perfect and the dealer would back the work for a minimum of a year, way better than anywhere else, but that's a lot to pay for an old car. If I wasn't backlogged I'd offer to track one down and redo it for you, but the last few S13s to hit the pull it yards here have all been SOHCs and cut all to hell and I'm three weeks behind on little shit as it is. I bet yours is a really simple repair anyway if you could find someone locally who's able to check it out. Keep asking around before you drop the big money.

^lol at the man love. Well that certainly vouches for your knowledge.

Ouch, $700, for a new one, that pretty much justifies the dealer's price for $1100 in a way... Of course there's no way I can dump that much money in atm, as the finances for that just aren't available.
Although if I could afford it, I'd probably do it in a heartbeat, just to help keep the car running reliably.

I really appreciate the help man. I guess I'll probably try to get a second and third opinion from some local shops and see how they can help me out.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, once again, I really appreciate it.
