Problem with 98 wiring harness PLEASE HELP! I'm in the middle of a conversion and swapped another fellow for a 98 M6 wiring harness. Pretty sure it is a 98 as everything else is going smooth and it fits in the computer which seem a bit different then the 99+'s I've worked on.
The oil pressure sending unit does not fit the connecter from the wiring harness has on female and the sensor itself has two males. As shown in the pic below
1. Is this is a difference from a M6 to A4 in 98?? With different sensor part numbers?
2. Do I have the wrong harness??? (doesn't seem to be the case)
3. Anyone have a helms guide for a 98 that has the wiring for the sensor? If it is two is it a one ground and live, I could get a new pig tail and ground the correct wire.....if not which number slot do they use in the PCM?
I broke the sending unit trying to get it out so now I need to order one Monday need to make sure I get the right one and order a pigtail if one is needed...
THANKS!

Easy way to see if it's a '98 wire harness is to look at the temp sensor plug (in front of the #1 cylinder exhaust port). If it's a 3-prong plug, it's a 98. If it's a 2 prong, its newer (dummy guage).
That oil pressure plug looks fishy. Mine's a 2 prong in my '98, but i've never realled looked at it closely, just unplugged it for manifold swaps etc.
BTW - Don't let them give you a hard time, 98's came with the biggest cam's from the factory and they are scared.

But a friend with a 98 pretty much verified that its a 99+ harness pin 40 is black and there are only two connectors going in, not sure which it is but he asked me those two questions and said it was a newer harness...
SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the time I get the vert going its going to be raining again and I'll have to drive my beater S10 blazer all summer
Thanks!
