Okay, so I have the m50 in the car and wired up however it still doesn't seem to be starting. I turn the key and I can hear the white relay on the m50 loom (what I understand to be the starter relay) click but thats it. I personally think it something to do with the neutral sensor on the right side of the tranny (or reverse sensor... not 100% what it is) not being hooked up properly.
I have 2 wires (blue/white, and green/yellow) running from the engine in the same loom as the wires for the o2 sensor. Do those simply connect to the sensor on the right side of the trans or, do they need to be spliced with any wires from inside the car near the shifter?
Also take into consideration that I have done an auto to manual conversion...

Any advice would me much obliged,
Cheers,
Emerson.

It could very well be an oil level sensor... What will attaching pin 11 and 14 do?

It will engage the starter

You dont need to connect anything between engine/body outside the C101 plug together regardless of auto/manual box

Just make sure the Black/Yellow from the ignition switch runs unbroken to the C101

So unplug one and plug it into the other?

Do you know what the plug (same loom ad the MAF sensor plug) goes to? I cant seem to see any missing sockets which makes me think it's for something extra.
And I also cant seem to find the plug for the heater control valve.
