First off, you need nothing for the engine, what transmission do you have?

Computer on a 97? Uh no.. 12V power to the WIF-fuel heater circuit. 12V power to the fuel solenoid hold circuit and start 12V power to the pull circuit. The PCM controlled the heater grids, but that will have to be a manual control item now.

The best thing you can do for yourself is get the factory service manual for 35 bucks from Genos Garage.

http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....mber=DFSM97_CD

It is factory licensed, and you can delve deep into everything, has a pretty good explanation of operation as well.

I can assure you it is more than just adding a 12 volt wire.

The FSM would help you out in getting the PCM to power up to run the APPS and getting the shift points right. Didn't know you had that stuff.
