ok…my story is i got a s14 ka24de from a buddy off a 97 240. the 97 wiring harness was way to complicated for me to do since it was obd-II so i went another route. i swaped the distributor, intake manifold, and ecu wiring harness to s13 ka24de. the wiring harness i got was cut but i found the plugs to splice it back together. now my problem is it runs really rough and rich, i think its running in limp or safe mode. i dont have the o2 sensor hooked up yet cuz i haveta find one outa a s13 ka24de. but would the o2 sensor make it run this bad?

anyone out there with a running s13 ka24de? id like to go over my splicing in the harness to make sure its right. ill hook u up for ur time. thanks

It would help if you said where you are located.  
You NEED the o2 sensor, they are like 40-50 bucks at partsource or autovalue. Are you using the right maf?

Just making sure you’re using the 91+ maf. I remember having to deal with those two wires, but I don’t remember what I did with 'em.
