A 99 harness will work as long as it's return fuel system. Also, did you get the complete engine harness (i.e. from strut tower to PCM) or just the engine harness that ends at the valve cover?

I have a visual aid at the shop I'll get a pic of and post tomorrow. You have to pull apart the 40 way connector (engine side - drivers side strut tower) and cut two wires and connect them together. That's it.

On the engine harness end of the 40 way connector at the drivers front strut tower you will need to remove the end, plastic cap and pull back some of the sheathing (electrical tape) around the wires. You are looking for one black/yellow wire and one yellow/red wire. Here's a quick pic of the correct end of the harness.

I'll post the correct wire positions to connect together in the newer harness to make this connection in a bit (i'm late for work at the shop)!
