95-96 cas into a 97 eclipse harness

[ven377]

i have a 97 eclipse gst that crank wallked and i bought a engine with the black valve cover and im guessing its 95-96 and it has the cas behind the cam gear and my engine had it on the other side and i read that the engines are different 2ga and 2gb
i wanna know if i can just split the wires and put them together?
or do i have too chnage the firing order?
i prefer advice from someone that has done this or fixed this but anyone can help
i dont want to change my cam so please let me know asap on some wiring stuff i can do with pictures if possible
im only 19 but i just put the engine in the car but dont know what to do about this ### i read different things on different places
this is one i read and sounded like the easiest
"I have done this before when I put a 95 head into my 97 gst. I had to splice the wires together in order to use the stock connection. It is pretty easy to do. All you need to do is get 3 wires long enought to go from the wiring harness on the passenger's side of the engine to the connector on the sensor on your head which is on the driver side of the engine. You will want to use those in-line connectors to splice in the wires so you dont have to cut any connectors off. Then just match the colored wires from one side to the other with the extra wire and you will then have no trouble starting up the engine since it will now get the signal it needs to fire the plugs."

can i do this?

I am also doing the same exact thing so if anyone could offer thoughts I would greatly appreciate it!!

You can wire it and swap the plugs, But, you can swap the cams and use your 97 CAS.

That's your best way to go.

How do you wire it the CAS and CPS into the 97-99 harness? That's the question. How many wires does a stock 97-99 CAS have? 3 or 4?

They Both 95-96 and 97-99 have 3 wires, and all three wires are the same colors.

Just cut them and rewire them with matching colors.

If you switched the 95 CAS, Then you are OK.

That's the best way to do it.

What about if you're trying to go the other way in stead (95-96 to 97-99)?
