I'm looking at buying a car that's a few cities away

>>16559196
carb,distributor ignition, alternator, a batery and fuel pump

that is all you need.

What if it's fuel injected...

>>16559196
wtf is an 'engine harness'?

is that the rats nest of wires to all the sensors and shit? how can that be completely missing?

>>16559228
Yeah most of it goes to sensors but I think some of it goes to the injectors and ignition.
Im wondering if there's some way to just nigger rig it to go home until I can get it sorted out.

I doubt it on a fuel injected car,

If you have to ask... This is one where you're in over your head.

There's a chance.
There's also a chance the car needs more. Like a real good chance.

bring a couple hundred feet of wiring and a bentley manual

only should take about 20 hrs.

>>16559196
Just buy an early eta engine harness off craigslist locally and hook it up to the car.

Have a pickup?

Have a friend with a pickup?

A uhaul dolly is $50.
It'll cost more if it's your friend with the truck. The price of gas plus lunch and/or beer to be exact.

>how can that be completely missing?
If he doesn't want you or a mechanic to test the engine, then he makes the harness missing. Of course, if there was an electrical fire, it would also be missing.


The poster at >>16560621 has the right idea. I see this done every now and then with a truck pulling the dolly. People drive at night to avoid traffic and the need to use brakes all the time with a dolly load. It must work since thieves use this to steal cars too. They dolly it off to some area before quickly opening up the hood/trunk and cutting the battery lines to both batteries. UHaul has pickup rentals too but in my area they cost more than those vantrucks.
