When clipping the new engine harness to body loom has the pink and yellow wire been pushed out of the back of the old plug?


This joint gets hot if there's a loose connection. Then the male terminal pin doesn't stay firm in the plug. Eventually the pink wire goes hard and creates more resistance and more heat and more resistance and more heat and so on.

Update.  IT'S ALIVE. My auto sparky finally turned up yesterday to have a look and tested everything electrical and said all was OK, but it still would'nt fire. He had a look through the oil filler hole as I was cranking it over and noticed there was'nt much movement of the valves, no oil pressure!, we took the plugs out and cranked it over for a few minutes put the plugs back in and away she went.         HAPPY DAYS  :D  :D

Why did the low pressure prevent it from starting?

and that right there, is why it is so hard to diagnose electrical issues over the internet.
