I have completed all of the wiring. My motor turns over but doesnt start. She just cranks and cranks and cranks real strong. Any pointers?

Also when I take my key out and get out the dash lights are still on and wont turn off unless I disconnect the battery.

Welcome to the 8 steps to wiring hell....that is why I dont follow that stupid write up, had nothing but problems both times I tried to follow it....

Not sure where the problem is, I just ended up putting a switch in the circuit so I could toggle it every time I stopped the car.

First things you gotta figure out is whatyou got & what you dont got SO...

Check Fuel pumpFuel pressureFuel lines are in the correct order(I did this a couple times...line with the fuel filter goes to the BACK of the fuel rail, not the regulator)Spark on all 6 plugsinjectors firing(all 6)

Check all that & get back to us.

I found the problem. I cut the grey wire and connected the injector side of the grey wire to the R/B wire. Thats what I originally did so how I fixed it I connected the other side of the cut wire to the same spot on the R/B wire and it fired right up. First time it has ran since the clip was wrecked in Jap Land. Pretty exciting.
