Engine is in.
Got the wiring done for it to crank.
Used the fuse box to the ignition switch method because the other method didnt work for my car.
Need to do the reverse light wiring any help on that would be appreciated.
Hit a couple snags
CEL doesn't come on when the car is in the on position so it hasn't fired up yet.
I checked all the fuses and got stuck form there.
The front half of the driveshaft I bought on craigslist isn't long enough!
I think the guy lied to me when I bought it.
Auto is on top in the pic
My alternator plug broke! haha
and I can't find where this plug goes to!
I circled it in the picture.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in San Bernardino
I did the day I bought it. I remember they were all pretty close to each other but forgot the numbers since it was such a while back.
I'll check again once its running.

Still no luck on the start up.
I'm starting to think it could the the ecu but I don't think those go bad to easily.
It could also be a wiring issue. I mistakenly jumped two wires that went to the auto tranny and maybe that isn't letting it turn on.
I'll try to get some pictures of how much of the yolk is sticking out and see if I figure out that wiring issue.

So apparently the head relay isn't getting any power
I'm not too sure on how to fix that.
I'll keep checking all the wiring to see if I find anything else.
Here is a picture of the yolk and how much it sticks out.
