I have the harness from under the hood, computer to where vit connects to the dash harness from an 88 v6. I have a complete under dash harness from an 87 v8. Maybe the engine harness would help?

If he doesn't have an '88 V6 harness, I've got 2 of everything.
Engine harness, all of it.

You don't need the one that goes from the computer of the passenger side kick panel over to the firewall on the other side(running through the engine bay)?

i honestly dont know i just know the basics i know its a long set of wires that start under the hood and connect to like 6 harnesses and a ring that goes on the solinoid and it goes through the firewall with the little rubber thing around the wires wich seals the hole and the wires run through that hole into the car i think they enter the car somewhere by the break pedal or steering column. then it keeps running and connects to the ignition,headlight switch,speedometer,fuse box,radio,a/c-heat,cig lighter and the two buttons in the glove box that opens the fuel door and trunk, so basically everything on the dash, but its all one long set of wires,

This may be a dumb question, and only if you taped the wires, but will the car start anymore?

right now it wont because i took all the old wire harness out but the 5.0 one i got from the yard i tried matching up the color coded wires and connecting my 3.8 harnesses under the hood with the colors that matched the 5.0 and now the head lights reverse light clock blinkers and acouple of other things work but the car wont start it sounds like its about to start but it dosnt turn over thats why im looking forthe 3.8 harness so i can just connect tha harnesses where they go and everythng would be fixed

I'll try to get the harness out tomorrow (today, rather) and snap some pics for you. It's completely undamaged in any way.

Just to verify that I have exactly what you need:
You want/need ONLY the engine harness?
or ALL the wiring from the dash AND engine, headlights, injector harness?

I can't say w/o looking at the rest of the wirieng if it's any good, but I AM 100% certain that the 3.8 engine harness IS all intact and NO broken wires.

I'll PM you with my email addy tomorrow, and send you or link you to some pics, I have a dr appt tomorrow for my son, but I will have some time before that to tinker I think. I'll let you know...:D

PS...is your 3.8 car an '87, or an '88?
The reason I ask is that there's a world of difference between the 2 years, as '87 3.8 engines were cfi (throttle body) injection, and the '88 version was multi-point injection.

If you have an '87 I don't have what you need, if you have an '88 though...well, you're golden..lol
