I also got the RMJ EFI Harness, I hope it gets better as taking the old one out I found lots of melted wires which were causing me issues. I'll be glad to get rid of the slat and pepper connectors and reduce all unwated wires, just hope I remember how to get this back together

Yep, I had one of those, too! Rewiring the car was the best thing I ever did...no more issues, starts every time (without the battery going dead in between) and dropped 20 lbs! I used the painless 8 circuit race car harness and EFI harness. Also have used the Ron Francis harness and it works well...would be a better choice if you street drive your car as it has turn signals, etc. It's really not a bad job, and it's great to know what all those wires really do!

So I used donnor harnes for all, so I really need to replace the body harness also but not sure I can do it now, right now I'm trying to sort out the body wires from the EFI wires and hope all the lights, etc. still work when I'm done. I wish I never did the donor harness now. So I will need like a 8 circut body harness for lightd and guages. Any suggestions (links to correct harnesses)?

I am a web retard and can't quite figure how to attach the link but check out Painless wiring race car harness 8 circuit with 6 switch panel. Has worked great for me last 3 seasons. Easy to wire (the wires are all printed...headlights, taillights etc). Gauge panel also pretty straightforward (water temp to water sending unit...oil pressure to oil sending unit, etc). Circuit board has power for gauge lights. Run several good grounds. Efi harness has it's own free standing fuel pump circuit so you can use the one on the body harness for something else (data? Cool suit? Light bar?). You get the idea! It's pretty much A to B and you get to be a little creative!

New RJM harness installed, no error codes other than the soft codes 81, 82, 84, 85. Was no fun separating out donor body harness from donor EFI harness. Still need to clean up body harness. Had a small delay of a few hours fighting error code 96 and was my error hooking up fuel pump wires wrong.
