I let someone check my ignition system such as coils,cam sensor ,crank sensor and power transistor...and they ruined my wires :cry:.
They have been butchered. I need a new wiring harness what do i do? i can't find them anywhere. i don't get ANY spark in ANY coil .

How do you "butcher" wires when checking the ignition? :hmm:

Your thread is titled ignition wires, but you say you need a new harness. :confused:

Did you check the fuses?

It seems misleading but the thing is,we were looking for the reason why my 2 and 3 coils were not sparking. He constantly said we should cut the wires and test the continuity.so my dumbass said "OKAY" durrr. he cut the transistor wires[aka powert converter] and camshaft sensor wires. he cut the brown and red wires that connected to the ecu harness,butchered every ground wire and fried my ecu...im stuck with a fried ecu,chopped up harness. and like 200 bucks....i spent all funds on transmission,and engine...now i have to get this shit.... what now?:confused:
 
Solder and shrinkwrap the cut wires, upgrade the ecu (eprom/98-99flashable) then diagnose the real problem.

How's the basic chassis on the car? I mean does it have major crash damage or bent crossmembers or stuff like that?

I know what you mean about the wiring. Some of the wiring on my car was hacked up when I bought it. Some of it was hacked actually during my ownership by a guy who should have known better - he thought the wires or the coils were bad - turned out the wires and coils were ok, it was just the connector plug that connects to the power transistor had sockets with weak tension. We just bent them a little to make them tighter.
I think with the extent of the damage to your wiring, I would try to find harnesses in decent condition from a wrecking yard and take it from there. Study the pictures of the plugs in the Haynes and Chilton manuals for the car. They are surprisingly good, you can pretty much figure out what years had the same stuff. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the 2g's but that's what I found with my 1g.
