true, its just soooo annoying, specially since i kinda have to drop the subframe a little to get the pulley out on this specific case with the probe...
so note to self, hard to start, no tach reading, runs ok when running = a long hard journey ahead
thanks for the feedback guys.

engine block is fully grounded with wire straight to negative post. and just to make sure the DIS module gets power to pin 6 "reset" every time the clutch pedal gets pressed in and key is on start, to reset it, right....
thanks again for any help ... just trying to make sure nothing gets toasted.

I don't think that is how the DIS is grounded. That is how the ground is fed to another device that needs it. The DIS is grounded itself throughone or two of the mounting screws, through the crossover tube, to the mounting bracket of the crossover tube, to the braided flat wire to the firewall.

The DIS diagram on the factory manuals says that the DIS gets power to pin six from ignition switch only when switch is on "start" (cranking engine) to reset, its just i dont think i seen a post where people have it run like that. i might be wrong.
no update yet, still waiting on sensor to arrive.

HAPPY TIMES !!!!!!!!!!!
Changed crank position sensor... no need to describe the horrors and agony we must suffer to change this sensor....
Car fired right away, Thank you Lord !!!!
all gauges work. it says it has low oil.. yet is full of oil. and oil pressure is good per both the probes and sho sensors... must investigate this.
I got the usual codes related to the fuel pump since i have no CCRM.
codes: 543 and 556, fuel pump circuit failure... (i did not wire the high speed circuit for pump, no need.)
so now to fill it with water, get a new air filter since the stock airbox is in no way going to work (no room in this smaller engine bay.), i been told K & N will **** the maf so i will get something with a dry filtering media. (apexi maybe).
power steering will be sorted out soon (electric pump conversion from a mini cooper).
Will post pics and maybe a vid as soon as its decent looking and making some vroom vroom noises.

I would go with paper as well.
I think you'll have a lot trouble fitting the mini cooper electric steering. Many manufacturers use the steering column electric steering. Here is one example,

Saturn Vue is even better, they even sell a controller for it on eBay.

Just waiting to see how long it lasts before this is boosted.

thanks for the heads up. the reason im going with the mini cooper one is that it does not need any ecu input to run, it has a built in logic circuit that will make the pump run at 80% of its capacity when not getting any signal from the mini ecu. so it will run correctly on its own and just needs to be wired to get power when key on run, and i just need to run the stock power steering lines to it.
I was also looking at the toyota mrs as that has everything build into one unit, and the probe speed sensor will send a signal close enough to the factory toyota one that the ecu will run the pump at multiple speeds as needed.
I been looking at the saturn ones. was not aware the controller was out to buy ..
i will show you guys once that gets sorted out.

I think so, This engine used to be from someone else here in the forums.

engine runs good, im putting suspension together to get it moving on its own again. I feel accomplished and man I feel this should have been how ford should have had the Probe come out from the factory, that engine just looks sooo right on that car.

Hi everyone, its been a while since i posted on this
I been testing the car and wiring for the last month due to having what might be a short. i tracked the problem down to the alternator, both the sho and probe use the same kind of connector and circuit for the alternator. but i never really though if they are wired backwards or the same at the plug. can someone please post a pic of the alternator voltage regulator connector to see which color wires go to each connector?? so that way i can make sure i dont have the polarity reversed. that is the last thing i need to fix to make car 100% road worthy.
Thanks
