Engine swap Help
I've spent the summer swapping out my engine. I've got the new engine sitting in it now, and about ready to start her up, but I got a few questions. On the passenger side of the engine there's a wire with two terminals and I don't remember taking it off anything cause it was like 3 months ago. Here's a pic, I'm pretty sure it's a ground wire, but I just wanna make sure.

Sweet. Also, when you re-connect the gas line, do you have to do anything to like prime the engine before starting it? Cause when I took it off the old engine, a good amount of gas came out the line and the intake manifold. Will the engine suck the gas up when it turns over?

im not sure about your 01, but on my 88 renix i would cycle the fuel pump a few times to try to build the pressure back up. it cranked a little longer than usual but it started.

Mine was down for a month, I had alot of stupid problems, IE Broken bolts, but as far as priming mine started right up I have a 94 don't know if that makes a difference.
