If you pull your starter out and look at the space between the bell housing and the torque converter it should be about 3/16" space between the two if it's any larger than that the converter is not installed corectly . If it is ok then you should check the locating dowels on the trany and the engine you may have too many in place ??? ( extra from either the original engine or the replacment) it may twist and the bind the engine/ torque converter when tighten The small wire you are looking for on the starter will be hanging off the firewall about mid way down just right of the brake booster SEA#3

Try replacing the front A/F sensor (02 Sensor) first. It is situated just below and back of the right front inner c/v joint They are notorious for lying to the ECM and not throwing a code , as well as causing other codes to be triggered Whether this is your problem it's tough to tell You can tell if the front A/F sensor is "Lying" if you have a scan tool and you monitor the front a/f sensor and the rear 02 sensor, which your dealer should be able to do !!!

If you have repalced the speed sensor and the cluster , most likely it's in the wiring harness What is probably happening is the harness is shorting to ground and cutting out the speed signal Checking for continuity through the wire may check out ok , but the next thing to do is to check if that wire is grounded SEA#3

Beezer Try putting an ignition relay in it , the relay has 2 sets of contacts in it that supply voltage to the ECM at two points . Sometimes one set of contacts stays open ,which can cause your codes to trigger .This is why if after you start the car and it runs bad ,then you shut it off and restart it , it reactivates the relay and gets a better contact You can find the relay on the left hand side of the dash just above the inside fuses box(it is a PITA to get to) It is a brown square relay with a brown connector SEA#3 -
