That's backwards of the normal swap Anyway, maybe I can give a little help. I did my swap backwards b/c of pcm limitations. I swapped a 99+ pcm and engine harness onto my 98 car. I had to switch my sensors (not applicable in your situation) and then where the engine harness went into the car on the passenger side, I had to cut the wires and rewire them onto different connectors. Also, my fuel gauge doesn't work now since it's different.

It would probably be easier and smarter to just pick up another harness, pcm, and few sensors in the parts section and be done with it. You should be able to sell your items pretty easily too. Hope this helps

The 99-00 harness has the EGR... 01-02 do not. Not a big deal if you get the 99-00 harness, the 01-02 PCM will still work.

BTW... what caused the fire?

there are some differences.

98 harness will not plug into the guage cluster for an 02 for example.

I didn't know about the EGR differences so they'll be able to help more with that. As far as the sensors, you'd probably just have to do a search on it b/c I know it's out there. I switched the oil pressure sensor (then took it off for an autometer gauge), and I think the temp sensor was different. They look the same but they had different #'s of pins. Those are the only ones that I remember off the top of my head. Whatever you decide is doable, good luck
