I have a buddy that is building a sami down to the engine now. Has a 1.6 injected motor out of a 90 model sidekick. Where can I find a wiring diagram of the engine and what is needed to make it run in the sami? Is it possible to put this engine in the sami without alot of trouble?

Wiring Code/Color List

White- hot in run, to fuse box 15 amp ECM fuse
blue/yellow trace- to diag connector, dont mess with
this wire.
brown/yellow trace- to diode, unknown use
violet/yellow trace- to instrument cluster, for check
engine light.
yellow/blue tracer- a/c coupler, leave disconnected
green/black tracer- a/c coupler, leave disconnected, in
future I will try to use these two wires for an idle
up on the trail.
violet - to diag connector
gray/green trace- to Map sensor return signal
gray/yellow trace- reference signal to MAP, TP, air
temp, water temp sensors
gray/red trace- to Tp sensor
gray- TP sensor
blue- Tp sensor
lightgreen/black- TP sensor
blue/white trace- TP sensor
Yellow- Injector
Red - Injector
red/black trace- air temp sensor
red/yellow trace- water temp sensor
lightblue- 5th gear switch
red/green trace- EGR sensor (calif only)
black/green trace- ground to tstat housing
lightgreen/yellow trace- vac switch for Idle
lightgreen/white trace- vac switch for EGR
Red (shielded)- O2 sensor
red/black trace- TACH signal
Black/blue tracer- ground to firewall
Second wire same as above
Black/green trace - ground to firewall and engine for
relays
black/yellow trace- hot in start, from starter solinoid
pink- to fuel pump relay
blue/black trace- to ECM relay

Wire Harness Conversion

First thing to do is to setup the harness, cut off all
the wrapping and filter out unneeded wiring (wires
that do not directly attach to the ECM or manifold),
this will be the most time consuming project as it took
me 3 evenings at 3+hours each. After you get all the
wires sorted out then start wrapping them up, you will
want two branches after the new harness leaves the
firewall, the first one goes to the injector, air temp
sens, water temp sens, the 2 vacuum relays, tp sens,
map sens, basically all the stuff on the intake manifold,
the second will goto the distributor, coil, firewall
ground, and the O2 sensor. I can only think of two
wires that need to stay inside the pass compartment,
the check engine light and the ECM power wire.

Harness Installation

Install the new ECM in place of the original, I had to
drill a couple of holes in the bracket that holds the
ECM behind the glove box, make sure to point the
ECM's plugs to the outside of the Sam and facing up
as in the original donor. Send the new harness through
the firewall and hook up the two inside wires as well
as plug in the new ECM plugs. I left the original
harness in place 'just in case'.

Next hook up the coil, distributor, firewall
grounds, and O2 sensor. You will need to cut and
splice the dist wires.

Great shit Ronch, that's for the 8 valve, right?

Great amount of useful info.
I may neverr need it but Im gonna run it off and save it for future reference. :)

That info is something I snagged off the net.
When it refers to (Me, and I) had nothing to do with me personally.



This is another handy link.

The Yankee Toys site is my page, the info is from a 93 Geo.. I probably should put that on the page somewhere too.

And the diagrams at the bottom are NOT :-) form a 1993 HELM FSM either.. I have no idea where they came from.. or how they got posted to my website, must be them darned hackers.

Here's what the finished product looks like.
