This car did NOT have biodegradable wiring harness. You can see the fuel distributor in the engine pics. NO CIS injection car had bio wiring. That was engine management related, not year related.Just for clarification on that other question. Are you saying the biodegradable wiring has been replaced?$7,000 bid placed by @kmr9146
