Congatulations!:D Love that shape Merc.

The engine number is behind/below the thermostat housing. You'll need to remove the plastic section that houses the sparkplug wires to see it more clearly. Other info you require can be found here..... http://www.lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13573

If a vacuum is being created in the tank then it could affect fuel delivery. Just vent the breather to atmosphere near the tank.

The vent valve hose doesn't connect to anything at the other end, it's just clipped to the tank and runs around to the other side and vents to atmophere.

Yes. If you have ignition 12v at the +B terminal, then you should have 12v at the injectors and coils.

**EDIT** (unable to edit posts) Make sure you have ignition 12v at the +B terminal in the diagnostics port on the engine.

Yes. Some brown wires can be grounds also. All black/yellow wires need constant 12v. All black/orange and black/red wires need ignition 12v. Depending on the year of manufacture, thick white and black/blue wires coming from the ECU need ignition 12v.

Have you tried here........? http://www.lynchbuilt.co.nz/wawcs014043/exhausts-and-manifolds.html Or have a go yourself like this guy............:D http://www.nzjetboating.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=6150.90

True it can do that, but in this case it doesn't. It's fitted in the optimum position to allow the incoming airflow to go directly down the back of the engine. it also has a small deflector fitted underneath to ensure this. The transmission temps are cooler as a result (when on the move) and...

The scoop in the photo above actually channels airflow down the back of the engine and over the transmission due to the 2" bodylift.

Think about how to get the heat out of the engine compartment aswell. I fit vents in the bonnet and remove the rubber 'skirts' from under the wheel arches to let the heat out. A 16" electric, curved blade fan either as a pusher or puller works well too. None of my conversions have had cooling...

Could be the Park/Neutral Position switch (NSW on non VVTi engines) isn't sending a 12v signal to the ECU? No Park/Neutral signal and the engine won't crank over.

They are interchangeable, although the SC400 (Soarer) usually has the extra TPS fitted for the traction control.

Any videos of your 1UZ Escort?:) (Can't edit my posts):confused:

Check your wiring for the speed sensor on the right in this photo, it controls the gear shifts. Also, make sure the transmission cable is not too tight.

Blue circle = Traction control TPS. (Throttle Position Sensor) The one next to it is the main TPS. Red circle = IACV. (Idle Air Control Valve)

Nearly all of my conversions have had the A342LE transmissions, all pulled from LS400s (1990-1997) The A342LE is probably specific to the U.K. market, different gearing?

Bearing part number: C6031

Can you take a photo of the 28 pin plug showing the wire colours? The two top rows of wires mainly.

Could be a problem with the M-REL wire. Your ECU wiring is near enough the same as the '96 LS400. Diagrams here...... http://www.lextreme.com/misc.html Can you keep the engine running if you press the throttle pedal after it fires up? I wire the fuel pumps using a five pin 30a relay: Pin...
