check; spark, injector pulse, compression, timing. Is that the same engine you took out? Do they look the same? (intake) If looking at front of car. Left side of exhaust manifold. Down a little on flat part of block. Look for F22A1, F22A4, or F22A6. on both blocks. If same look for a plug you missed. or Ill be back in 24 hours. Because im NEW TO THIS SITE.

reconnect your transaxle to body ground, most common i would say
or your engine harness ground to intake manifold or thermostat housing (not sure where 4gen harness ground is located)

I will recheck everything, and I will let you guys know. Ok...i got the car started...b/c of not enough ground, but it idling btw 1000 to 1500 rpm when starting up the car. also, while the engine is running i can shift into 1 and 2 gears without press on the clutch. what could be wrong? and is the fan supports to run when connected to the battery? please help
