Default installed chasebays em1 harness and car doesnt start

i mean "cm1" ok so i have been doing some research for past couple days and i hope ronj chimes in because he helped me the last time i had a problem with my civic.....

im starting to get my integra back together and i have a type r motorswap in my 93 integra..


i had my car torn all apart dash and all
i put a new gas tank in
plugged all shock tower plug on drivers side in with chase bays harness adn to the ecu and starter signal
i installed the pin a7 for the fuel pump
and a13 for the cel light

i have the ground from chasebays harness hooked up to the thermosat

i have a ground going to chassi from the trans

i had to switch the wire for the starter signal plug because as soon as i turn the the key to the on position it would want to turn over so i moved from the one side of the plug to the other side
after i fixed that i noticed the cel light never comes off

also noticed that the main relay is not clicking on and i can not hear the fuel pump prime

so i tried taking the brown wire from the chase bays harness and grounding it to see if i would get it to flash me some codes......it does nothing

so the cel just stays on

also my key wont come out until i take the positive terminal off of the battery

hope someone can help me out

after doing a little bit of thinking.......there was a plug that went up into the heater core area.....i remember keeping it before i tossed the heater core...im going to dig that up and hopefully find the plug that it went to......hopefully thats whats making it no run.....i will keep you posted if thats what it is

im getting ground everywhere i need to...but on my chase bays harness im not getting power to the fuel pump nor am i getting my key out of my ignition until i take the positive terminal off the battery...cel light just stays on

at a25 im supposed to have power but its getting grounded whats up with that?(checked with a probe light with the clip on the positive terminal and then touched a25 which is supposed to be power source

it is a 93 integra and used to be auto but now manual...
i also removed my heater core all ducting the blower fan and climate controls i left the plugs all there just incase i want to go back maybe some day but i doubt it.....

could one of the these plugs that used to go somewhere have anything to do with it?

If you removed all the wiring in the heater core area, there are a few plugs with wires that power other things in the car. You might want to go back and trace out what is missing. Good luck because I know all to well how much of a pain it is!

This can happen all to often utilizing aftermarket $H!T,
Sometimes things are better to leave be, cant reinvent the wheel
