What else do I need to turn it over

[Schwebe101]

Hey fellow tuners, a couple of days ago I picked up a cheap ESI and I want to see if I can get this thing running, not moving though, I just want to make sure that the engine will start before I start putting everything else in. It is missing a lot in the engine bay....ECU radiator battery and much much more. (You can see most of it missing in the picture). Anyway, yesterday I threw some parts in it. ECU, hooked up the shift cables and working on the clutch. I'm just curious what else do I need to see if it'll even start up? Oh and of course I have a battery in it now. Since I just want to see if it'l turn over and start up I'm not gonna throw the radiator in it yet either.

I have a picture of the engine bay up close but it won't upload -.- give me a minute..sorry its so blurry

I would hook up all the belts and make sure its in time make sure th coil packs wires plugs and injectors are all there and hooked up oil oil filter good fuel maybe a fuel filter and make sure the pump is working make sure all electronics are connected properly

Also hook up that radiator otherwise your gonna have coolant everywhere

Oh and check all your fuses

Air, Fuel delivery, and Spark the three basic start up problem areas.
