Hello fellow tuners, hopefully someone could shed some light on a few issues I have.. Ive started my " ironman" build and just finished the wire tuck/ emissions/ ac/ powersteering delete yadayada got rid of everything that the car doesn't really need...street car turned to a drag car/weekend warrior


Anyways on to the issue.... after finishing up the tuck the car doesn't want to start..before everyone freaks out and says " Search the threads!" I have and cant pin point this one out.... I have to big connectors on the drivers side ( below theheadlight) that aren't plugged into anything and have no clue what they go to.

Connector #1 : two big red wires with black tracers
Connector #2 ( Looking at the top of it facing me) : 9 wires in order on top then bottom left to right ( yellow w/green tracer, small red w/blue tracer, solid orange, red with yellow tracer, small solid green

* bottom row*
Blue w/yellow tracer
solid black
small green w/ red tracer
big green w/yellow tracer



car is cranking and wants to start but wont, also found a solid red wire that I missed and forgot to solder, it goes to the crank sensor( or the connector by the tbelt in the back, or the injector power resistor pack? I forgot what its called but its a small silver box that bolts to the back of the firewall. Im working on uploading pictures but if anyone has any insight id really appreciate the help,
staring at this hx40 is making my mouth drool...:cool::hellyeah:

It might be the connectors to your chasey harness have you checked that? Only ones I can think of that's under the headlight. Are you getting spark? I just seen a thread similar to yours and some how a wire going to the coil got pinched and was shorting out.
 
yeah everything works as it should, all lights, wipers, everything like that, with dsmlink I can turn on my fans and fuel pump so its getting fuel, power to all injectors, does deleting all my emissions have something to do with It? I have about 3 feet of emission wiring/harness filled with unused connectors but I still connected the ground wires to be sure

I re connected that red wire that was hanging loose and a yellow wire with a black tracer, hopefully this works. if not im dumbfounded, will keep posted

Alright got everything wired up and ready to start, re connected my battery and now when I turn the key the car doesn't even come on... ugh this is so frustrating can anyone chime in please?
