don't cut and splice any wires!

that plug you are holding is for the distributor, if you have no spark you might wanna check that out

check your ECU check your fuses...cutting wires you are just asking for trouble.

CHECK GROUNDS, AND JUST PUT THAT MANIFOLD BACK ON WITH 2 OR 3 BOLTS, UNTIL YOUR READY TO HAVE IT ON FOR GOOD.

i dont believe i see any ground connections on the motor. Ground the motor to the frame on the trans side and the valve cover at least. Seen this happen many times...
