Motor is in! Won't crank :(

[Damo]

Yep I got the motor in today with a huge thanks to Mick (Initial D) for coming out to give me and Ash (Kenaz) and hand, you were a huge help mate couldn't have got it in without ya. Also a a big thanks to dan (dansedgli) for lending me his engine crane, thanks mate.

So the day went fairly well got the old motor out ok, swapped the gearbox and clutch setup over, had some lunch and then got stuck into it again. The new motor was a bit stubborn but we got it in by about 2 pm. The engine mounts wern'rt playing ball, so more stuffing aroung to get them to line up ok. Started pluggin everything back in etc, then Mick had to leave and the CBF factor kicked in.

I had broken a T piece which hooks into the gas converter when i was pulling the old motor apart, so i had bought a new one but didn't realis the hose was a different size for the one to the converter, so I dodgeyied it up a bit and decided to bypass the gas stuff all together. The car doesn't run on gas anymore anyways, but all the looms and computer and converter were in it.

So after a fairbit of swearing and grazing knuckles we eventually had everything back in and were ready to turn the key. Turn it over to ign and everything lights up as it should, go to turn it over and NOTHING, brake fail light comes on and so does battery light. So i check over the plugs and the was one that wasn't plugged in, plug that in and try again with my EA as a jump vehicle. Now the starter sound like it's engaging but it's just not turning over the motor. :( Checked the coil and a few other things, found a plug at the front which is a blue injector style plug and i couln't find anywhere for it to go, also another rectangle plug next to the a/c condensor with no where to go either. i took some pictures, hopefully someone will be able to tell me where they go to.

So i'm very sore and tired and the car isn't running yet, but i think we achived a lot today in a small amount of time. Here are some pics of the days events.


Empty engine bay


New (old) motor ready to go in


new motor and everything installed back in the car.

Now here's a picture of the blue injector style plug that has me stumped


And the other plug


Sorry about the long thread fellas, but if anyone has any ideas or can tell me where those plugs go, it would much appreciated. It's a bit depressing to put all that work in and not have the car fire up. I was lookin forward to going for a drive around the block with no bonnet and open extracters. :P :

Thanks in advance,
