it may not cure the problem. i have the harness and still had the stumbling pronblem. One thing that seems to work is to replace the coolant temp sensor, the o2 sensor, do the wire harness ($100+) or the capacitor fix ($4), check the AFM wiper arm for dirt, contact and wear on the contact plate it slides across, check grounds, change fuel filter.
