Yep, got the car running last Thursday. Had a few issues though, all for the same reason: Previously the car had a modified AT engine harness installed...when I installed the rebuilt motor, I used a spare MT engine harness. Well I didn't realize that even doing that there would still be about a dozen wires that I needed to manually splice into the car's "front" body harness...
When I first went to start the car, the starter wouldn't crank. Got that fixed, then wasn't getting any power to the fuel injects. Got that fixed, then noticed the map sensor wasn't reading (it had no power or ground). All of these issues were due to me not hooking up wires from the X-05 connector on the MT engine harness.
After fixing those wiring issues, the car fired right up. Had to lean out he fuel map, but so far the car has been driving great. The motor definitely has very strong compression (thanks IR Performance!!!) and runs great so far. Now the break in begins...
