finished the swap, hooked up the t5 brakelight/nss harness and plugged in the nss under the dash and cruise control plugs as well. car cranks but wont start. i think maybe the timming got messed up when taking off the torque converter and putting on the flywheel, i mean i had my bro keeping the engine from turning the wrong way, but it still did just a little at times. any other thoughts? there was also this white plug that went into the automatic, but there was no place for it on the t5 and it wasnt mentioned in any of the writeups ive seen. thanks guys

good to hear, these 2.3's can jump a tooth if they are turned backwards
