As it stands, there's no check engine light on the car. I did not even think about the mounting spot for that light. However, if I had one and it was connected it would be off. It's a significant milestone in my wiring job!
After getting the engine to run my next big step in my wiring job was to connect all the components and ensure that all systems are operational. On my todo list I had: oxygen sensors, emissions control solenoids and transmission wiring. The trick was to trace all the wires that were too sort and extend them to reach the new location of the component. Some wires had to be pulled of the original wiring loom and rerouted differently. For example, my oxygen sensors are now on the sides of the car instead of the transmission tunnel. Each sensor has 4 wires that needed to be extended to reach the sensor. Luckily, two wires could be shared amongst two sensors, pre and post catalytic converter.
To ensure the good quality connections I used only weatherproofed but connectors. If the join is close or above exhaust I would choose crimp connectors with heat-shrink sleeve. Elsewhere, I would reach for solder filled heat shrinks. Both types of connectors provide good quality join, however, the solder filled ones are easier to do since the crimping step is skipped.
Next up is the dash board.
