New Harness/ rewiring engine, Help rewiring engine Options

[m2736185]

Picked up another celica today! However it needs work...a lot of work. I am trying to get this one running and make it my daily driver so I can prepare the 95 vert for the 3sgte swap.

Anyways, here is the story behind this celica...apparently the engine was sputtering over 45MPH so this lady was having her (crazy) fiance work on it. Things ended badly and he didnt want her driving the car so he unplugged and did god knows what to every wire in the engine. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. I am familiar with 5s engine, but the 7A seems foreign to me.

The celica is a 1994 GT the 7a, however the engine was replaced with a 1996 7a engine and tranny.

I tried starting it today, but the starter would not engaged. The lady stated it had started before.

ah I will remmeber that. So the stamp on the firewall confirms its a ST, however the vin decoder states in a GT, but I will go with the stamp.

I am confused about the need to keep the 94 TB, intake manifold, engine harness and TB.

Would it not run better if you swapped a 96 engine WITH the 96 ecu, engine harness, manifold, TB and dizzy.

Any idea how to tell what year the intake manifold and TB is from? I tried looking for a part number or vin, but I couldnt find one. I am going to finish removing the dash and glove box so I can see if I can tell what year the ecu is from. Here is a pic of the Diagnostic port...thats def not OBD II so I am gonna assume the ecu and harness is obd I
