The next thing will be figuring out how to do those "returns" (that smaller ~8 pin plug on the driver's side strut tower), and also figuring out the wiring for the things that aren't on the harness like the ign coil, resistor box, and I think the MAP sensor? that teeny little thing mounted to the firewall with a few tubes running in/out of it.

I'm gonna go ahead and skip the block heater for now. Stupid thing didn't come with the required tees or tubing, and advance/autozone don't have sh!t for elbows/tees. Need to extend the lines that go to the evap canister because I'm using the honda one, mounted on the opposite side from where it is on the metro. I wish you were here Christ I'll figure it out...Hope I have enough time for break-in.
The Honda has a "BAP" or Barometric absolute pressure sensor, not a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. You'll want to use the one from the XFi, because the BAP probably won't give the correct signals to the ECM.

^^^EGR thingy I was talking about. It is the EGR valve.

I figured out in my head that the 8 pin plug on the left side (driver's side) is the "fuel systems" plug... things that directly control throttle/fueling.

The wires in that plug are INJ1, INJ2, INJ3, INJ4, INJ(+)(common), and the 3 TPS wires. I will look in my manual later to verify (possibly tomorrow), but that's what's in my head right now. All the other sensors, including the ECT, IAT, CPS, and all the sending unit wiring is on the other side of the engine bay, at the right side plug.
