I am almost ready to put the 88 GTE into the 89. What sensors are different between the 2 years? I am using the 89gte harness so I want to make sure that I have all of the right sensors before I put on the harness.

Thanks!!

PS: the 89 was a ge...:)

I think it should.

I'm assuming this is going into a pre-89 car? Might have issues where the engine wiring harness connects to the body harness. The pinouts are different.

No ....let me explain...:)

I bought an 88GTE parts car for the drivetrain. My car is an 89 GE. I bought a brand new 89 harness for the GTE so I want to make sure that I did not need any additional sensors before putting the harness on.

So I have the sensors that came with the 88 GTE and the ones off the 89 GE.

Hope this helps.....:)

Ah, ok. It will be obvious what sensors don't work when you go to assemble (if you assemble on the stand with the wiring harness as well which is the best way)

Welcome ;)

Yeah, the engine I have in my car is a pre-89 and I just took everything off my old engine to put on the new one. You're also changing to a GTE so that throws a few kinks into that idea...
