Those are similar to the ones I used on my gauge wiring. I have had nothing but bad luck with them. Are you getting rid of all of them?

Yessir, they go bye-bye.
And for future reference, the P5 fuel feed line is the one on the right, closest to the drivers side. I told my GF to turn the key, but not yet. She turned the key anyway. Fuel all on top of the tranny. Dames... heh-heh
Ninja'ed by Cres. No I didn't press them firmly before clipping them and I didn't strip the adding wire. I'll try that.

You know me, Larry. The ECU's will be zip tied, wire loom wrapped and electrical taped when the swap is running and done. 
And I checked a few of my other connections and they didn't go through the wire jacket either so the ECU wasn't getting powa. Or probably any other signals for that matter... Funny how a couple of cheap wire splicers almost made me loose my mind.

Same thing happened to me on my o2 voltage clamp back when I first put in the turbo. Before, it wouldn't clamp signal and I would get horrible AFR's that leaned the car out like a mofo. After removing those and soldering, perfect AFR's. I will never use those again. I can't wait till she starts though. I'm on the edge of my seat!
I'm actually surprised you didn't solder to begin with...esepcially after seeing the iron out there. We all know that solder can be un-done... it's just a little messy at times when you do it. I definitely vote going that route and not messing around with things that work for some people, and not for others. I use those all the time with little issue, but I usually try to prep the wires to work with it because I've had some bad luck with them.
Oh well, I should be home most of the weekend if you need a hand. I'll probably just be going thru the office and packing it up.

Yeah. All done. =P
I got the exhaust bolted up to the headers. If you know KL's that job in it's self is about an hour. And I got the power steering line buttoned up... again. I soldered some more wiring together last night then got tired and hungry. Don't forget I work 8 hours a day lifting heavy-ass boxes in shipping. haha
I'm going to finish soldering the wiring and getting rid of those splicers in the cabin tonight after work. I wanted to just use splicers to make sure everything was golden, then go back and solder everything up. You guys know I don't half-ass stuff, yO.
Justin, do you mind if I hit you up about wiring the Dakota tach convertor? Damn, I still have to wire up my wideband too. Stoopid wiring... haha

You now what I mean though, right? I was going to wire everything temporarily since this swap isn't exactly plug and play. Then after a week of the motor running well and all the bugs worked out going back in and making everything permanent.
Tach adapter is easy:

So Basically: Power and ground. then you tap the signal wire on the disty and run a new wire to the SGI-8. then use Out2 to run a wire from the SGI-8 to the protege cluster tach wire. play with the sliding jumpers a bit. I will pull my cluster out if you need me to since I mounted my SGI-8 behind there and get you the right pins, your not gonna hurt anything, and you should be able to tell if the tach is reading way off, if it sounds like the motor is at 3k rpms and the tach is reading idle or 8k rpms then you have it wrong.

You're causing me undue stress, with all of this turtle speed, and the bit about only shifting this beast at 3k rpms... It's more than I can take!!
