My engine was on a run stand when I bought the car. The previous owner had run it on the stand. He had chopped the harness down to what was required. I stole the wiring harness he had for stand running and moved it directly over to the car. That way, I just leveraged his wiring work directly to the car. That article describes what pins and what harness connectors are required pretty well.

I think i realized my mistake i never jumped the clutch interrupt switch so the ecm is probably reading itself in the on position without wanting to send spark so its not sending power out to the DIS module because the clutch switch isnt happy

I'm not sure, but maybe this schematic could help?

It has helped thank you and by chance do you have more pages related to this?

The pros on this site would likely convince you to check for codes via the KOEO test. I am a relative noob and struggled with a similar problem until just recently... Mine was the crankshaft position sensor, but the codes (or lack thereof) will likely point you

Well i got the tester but the code reader shows no codes on it and your saying thats what told you it was a bad cps?

I thought the clutch switch just kept it from cranking.

Yeah i should have clarified sorry you are right i looked at the diagram wrong

By chance are pins 1 and 2 on the M ircm module supposed to be connected to battery power?

Well everyone that had helped thanks alot guys but i found a way to test out the crank sensor and its not testing out so well
And you can test it by plugging a multimeter into the prongs and testing for kohms anything over 10kohms and the sensor or wiring has failed and low and behold it failed

That link says resistance SHOULD measure over 10 ohms.

Yeah i had reread it but this issue i noticed is it stayed at 28kohms which would mean it stayed in the open position and never closed
