No, won't work without some mods.

The only engine that will bolt in and work without any modifications is the 99-02 2.4L. With a little work, the 96-98 2.4L will work as well. The Quad 4 is a OBD 1 engine.. much harder to make it work as there are sensors you'll need that aren't even there.

Glad you got it swapped no problem, I was going to suggest that you could sell/swap/trade somebody for a stock engine to replace but It should work out for you.. As for the speedo did you unhook the VSS wires while you swapped the engine? If they didn't get hooked back up then your speedo wouldnt be getting a reading..

vss = vehicle speed sensor

your vss or speed sensor is on your tranny..mostly likely right on top of your Diff. case . should be the only sensor in that area

Sorry, I should have written this:

No, won't PROPERLY work without some mods. And now you have the Check Engine light and no speedo as proof. Sorry dude.

Id you use the older 89 thermostat housing? Have you tuned it to make sure your A/F ratio is correct?
