Resolved Need help with engine harness connecter

[drummerchris23]

Hey hows it going everyone?

I recently removed my engine harness in my 98 Spyder GS and when everything was put back together my car would not start. I found a blue connecter by the firewall sorta around the black box that houses the throttle cable pulleys. I tried doing a bit of research before posting here and I found out its called the Engine Speed Detection Connector, and I read that if it's not connected the car will not start. What's not clear for me yet is if it's actually connected in anything or does it just hang there and the wires touch inside the connector. I'm really frustrated because I cant get my car to start and I am sick of borrowing my dads Mini Van

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks everyone for your time.

Sorry forgot to add a link so you guys can check out what Im talking about.

The wires are joined inside that single connector; it is not two connectors coming together.

Thanks for asking that question, and Brian hit it spot on. That makes me realize that the post describing that isn't as clear as it should be. I'll update the post.

No, thank you for making an awesome article that shows us all the connectors and wire colors. That article really is a lifesaver.

Thanks for the help guys.

Well I guess it's not the engine speed detection connector thats causing my car not to start. Is their any other connecters that would cause the car not to start?

CAS, CPS, ignition coils,, power transistor, any of the injectors, front o2 sensor, coolant temp sensor and ignition resistor box probably, and windshield wiper motor. There could be others, but those are the main ones off the top of my head.
