Default Where is my problem (car not turning on)

Ok, so I took all my wiring harness out, removed all unecessiery (sp?) wires (AC, EGR, bla bla) from it and reinstalled it...

but the problem is that the sparkplugs aren't firing anymore, I have found that my PIN 19 PNK Wire, which says PCM IGNITION 1 FEED is not connected to anything, it just goes out of the ecu to no where...

Does anyone know where this should go? and whether its contributing to my problem?

Thanks

Car: 1998 Camaro engine harness and ECU in a 240sx

If your talking about C2 19, that is the switched ignition to the PCM. 15A, HOT in RUN, BULB TEST and START.

Needs to be hooked up.

is it the source of my problem? I checked all grounds and 12v's they are all correct, could this be the only thing missing?

Is it your only issue? Not sure. Fix this one and you will find out.

That pin 19 needed to have ignition 12 volts while your key is turned on and while cranking.

All Pink wires should be that way in your specific harness. If you dont, then you have a wire not hooked up.
