Over the past ages I've been on an up and down road rebuilding an fto, one which initially got stolen (red) and then I pulled the motor from it and put it in another which is the one I'm currently trying to fix (white) (if anyone one facebook fto page you have probs seen it). Anyway I had it running well and the only problem with it was the tachometer didnt read anything, this was the case prior to the engine swap and after swapping it it wasnt resolved, hence i knew it wasnt IFS, anything to do with the transmission or the engine.
Hence I assumed that it was something to do with the wiring loom which where mangled to sh*t by the previous owners trying to install an amp. So before I had the red fto taken to scrap yard I pulled both the interior engine bay wiring loom which connected to the ECU, also worth noting the red fto was a factory auto and the white factory manual.
I have recently swapped out the interior wiring loom (ie the one that goes behind the dash and into the ecu and extends to just before the boot), and now the car won't start but just cranks. when re-installing the loom there where 3 plugs which I couldn't remember where they went, included in photos, but i believe to either be unnecessary accessories or something to do with the automatic transmission, these are all on the passenger footwell. Additionally there was other odd wiring jobs done by the previous owners such as a single wire running from an engine component (not sure what called but in photo) to the fuse box (also not sure which fuse cus i forogt to take photos).
