Default 2000 Accord Auto - Manual swap not cranking

I have a 2000 accord EX auto i am swapping to a manual along with an H22A. I'm using the jdm manual computer. I adapted the auto F23 harness onto the H22.

The only info I found by searching said that there is a red and grey wire on the computer side of the biggest plug on the trans. I connected them per the writeup and it still wont crank.

I do not have fuel pump, although the check engine light does turn on then off as it should. I cannot find any other information about what circuit should be closed in order for power to be sent to the main relay. I do not want to hack into the car to simply get it to crank. I've swapped older cars where the park neutral safety switch was in the shifter, but this car being newer is not like that, so there-in lies my problem.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

So I got it to crank. The blue/wht wire coming off the harness needs to go to ground to close the starter cut relay to enable it to crank. So fantastic, it cranks.

Now though, it still will not engergize the main relay. I have power off the fused circuits, so I can jump power to the pump and it starts the car, but I dont want to have to put a switch in, like I said its too ghetto. The computer should be firing the relay, but its not and now thats what i need to figure out...

when you turn the car to the on pos. listen for a click when the check engine light goes out. If there is no click then the main relay is not engaging. These are known to go bad on these cars. Also if your getting spark the its more then likely not the ecu....

well today I got a chance to spend more time with it. It does not click with the check engine light, but i do have power all over the place. I thought it might have been something with the immobilizer, but im not sure. Im using the Euro R computer, so it shouldnt have it in there.

If i jump power across to click the relay and run the pump, the car fires right up and runs fine. the ecu is not grounding the relay? i have some resistance on the black wire... but if i jump a wire from the black right to ground, it doesnt do anything.
