So I just finished swapping a 99 spec motor into my fc. I bought a fc with the swap already done froma forum member and it started when I bought it. I pretty much just swapped everything over from his car to my car, and didnt change anything, but now I cant get it to fire up. My dome light works when the doors are opened and closed and, hazards, headlights, and dash lighting works, but when I go to turn the car on, nothing... Checked to make sure the fuse box is getting power and it is. the ignitor makes a little noise when i disconnected and reconnected the power, but no cranking, fuel pump, or even accessory lights when you turn the key come on.
Any help is welcome. I need this thing up and running, would even kick down some money if someone could come help me. Thanks in advance.

ok fellas, figured it out last night at 12:00. Was trouble shooting all my wires and checking for power and such and stumbled upon a power wire that runs to the ignition, hooked it to the fuse box power and walla instant startup!!! The wiring looks like most of it has just been unravelled but some is a little hacked. But the car is running. NOw time to clean it all up... Thanks guys.
I will be doing a little post of the swap progress with pics soon.
