EJ20T turns over but wont start

Hi All

Just got my EJ20T in the beetle.
I have wired it up with the full loom from the donor car. Tricked it into thinking its in park/neutral. No connections to gearbox.

The engine cranks over and the fuel pump runs off the original loom. The ignition relay also "clicks".

Pretty sure i have every ground connection earthed.

All ran fine in the cut a couple of months ago.

Any pointers greatly appreciated

Sorted

the bosch fuel pump needed priming it was just pumping air.

Any good threads on cutting down looms?
