build thread (TII drivetrain swap, built motor, cage, widebody, blah blah)
I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll go ahead and say no...ha. I wrapped the wiring for the bumper lights in the back (it gets tucked into the bumper support normally)
Tore it apart last night, turns out the cam gears were installed in the wrong orientation! Thank goodness for non-interference motors. I forgot my laptop yesterday, so if it doesn't rain later I'm going to attempt a start tonight after work. Cross your fingers.

So I got it to start, but only for 10-20 seconds at most. One odd thing that happened was the clutch hard line was arching to the chassis and creating some serious sparks- not sure what's up with that. Any ideas?
You need to make sure the grounding strap is in place.
There should be one from the back of the engine bolted to the shelf under the brake master cylinder, there should also be a bunch of grounds attached to the back of the intake manifold that go to the ecu and wideband.
There should also be one at the back of your PPF and the battery to chasis ground in the trunk.
