Not for the Faint of Heart! Fresh Engine Swap Troubleshooting!

I've got gas!

In my cylinders that is. I removed and prepped the TC injectors for installation into the Mark engine, as I was testing the solenoids with some test leads to make sure they were all kicking, it occurred to me to do the same to the Mark injectors. So I did the right bank. The left bank remains to be done.
That was last Wednesday. Tonight I mounted the P/S and A/C pumps and installed the belt, in case the computer is looking for any voltage blips from the alternator.

So I cranked it over a few times and I now most certainly have fuel in at least the right bank! Since it was so late I didn't check the left bank yet, I'll do that asap. I'll also make sure and sniff for fuel before I test the left bank solenoids to make sure I'm not just smelling the gas from almost a week ago on the right bank ones.

Next I'd like to finish the intake tube. Right now I could be confusing the computer without it.

I still have no spark.

These cars almost wont run without the intake hooked up. Especially if the MAF is unplugged/disconnected

Thanks! There's not much to see right now.. looks OE at the moment, there's no dress-up goods at all. Take a look at my welcome wagon thread and don't mind the wires:

Regarding the intake tube and MAF: last time my MAF went bad with the original TC engine, my car wouldn't start and I was shown a "trick." The guy jammed the pedal to the floor with the bad MAF unplugged and she fired up. It ran rough, but it ran enough to get it home and put in a spare sensor I had.

I've got a Mark MAF plugged in, sitting on top of the TB for now... I'll try the "floor it" trick real quick before I rig up the intake tube. :D
