Three should be longer.

Disconnect the coil.
Crank for ten seconds.
Connect coil.
Start motor.
Break in motor.

Watch out for spraying fuilds, lose clamps, vacuum leaks,and a nasty idle. if the idle is bad, drive till chck engine light comes or 10 miles, then check the code.

It should work fine.

disconnect ignightor, fuel injectors.

Then crank for 20 seconds. The oil light will NOT turn off.

Repeat 4-6 times. Until the oil light turns off while cranking. then hook up ignightor and injectors and it will fire right up.

ok, thanks, i just gotta hook up the exhaust, upper lower rad hoses, and finish putting the intake in, and hopefully i get it running today.
