disconnect every sensor, pull it in from the dash...and disconnect it from the ecu and various dash parts. Haynes Manual would probably help.

um... dude... why would u want to do something like that. i mean its easier since its the same car. But for the amount of work needed. Its just easier to splice and solder or w/e u want to the damage cables. i mean a harness can take a person up to a day to remove and other day to install. plus the risk of messing up a certain connection.

Even if the rubber grommet "pulls right out", you still have to get either that HUGE plastic connector through the firewall, or all that wire and ALL those connectors...

If your taking it out of a parts car, I think it may be easier to cut a section of the firewall from inside the car, and fit the plastic connector out through the larger hole you cut

yea that plastic connector connector plugs into the ECU...then all those wires go to the corosponding sensors in the engine bay
