Hi davis1997GT, You may have some major hurdles to overcome in doing this swap. Some of the larger hurdles will be engine mounts, hood clearance, engine bay room and wiring/computer issues. This will probably not be a weekend job even if you are a mechanic. Good luck!

its not worth it that type of car has so much sensors and who knows your ant theft will probably keep it from running cause of the computer in it i would buy the right one

Key won’t start car but will light up all lights on dashboard. You can start it by jumping starter. Where is wire from key switch to starter?
