Pretty sure you can't mix a 95 OBD1 with a 96+ OBD2 sir. I know that one guy has been running a 97 on his 96, but that's about it. I think his SN here is Clyons or something...

Just match the colors. There's nothing complicated about changing the pigtail for a newer style coilpack. Changing an ECU, though..

ya it's easy. the color are different if i remember correctly but the layout is the same. just remember which one was left, middle, and right on the old one and match it to the new one. i'd take a pic but my car's at the shop.

there's only 3 wires - you'll be fine :thumbsup

if ya get it wrong there's only 6 possible ways to wire it.. (permutations are fun!)
