Engine is in, putting finishing touches on the wiring harness, hopefully it will start up today.

*Edit*
The car starts now, and idles well at ~850RPM. When I apply gas, it hesitates a little bit and then it revs up to about ~2500RPM. Then it stutters there or it will drop the RPM to about 1800-2000 RPM. So I am one step closer to making her road worthy but it is still kicking my butt. The engine is very rich in this envelope and sounds very "strong".

Another weird thing is that I have not Check engine light. I wired it to the HF CEL and i get nothing. When I put the ignition in the "ON" position i get the HF shift light (econo wire going to stock HF box on the cluster), and all other normal lights, just no cel. When I start the car and let it sit for a minute, still no CEL. Is there a way to add an LED in line with the CEL wire?. Rather, is the CEL wire a positive line or a ground?
