5MGE into 5ME Crown MS123 WIRING DILEMMA

[jaimidean]

Hey everyone! I know this has been a common thread, but this is slightly different. The body plugs we have on this crown are different to every thread / photo / video we have seen. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm currently helping a mate put a 5MGE into his MS123 Crown that previously had a 5ME.
Engine and trans is in, came with the 5MGE loom and ECU which we have mounted into place.

The body plug from the crown near the ECU is where we are confused. We need to know what wires need power, earth, etc etc.
We followed a youtube video of the wiring (7MGE) and followed the bloke's directions, we can crank it the motor (black with white tracer) but if we connect the black with orange tracer to positive it also cranks, I assume that is some sort of feedback throughout the loom, we also have all the standard headlights, tail lights etc etc.

We DO NOT have power at the coil pack what so ever.

I myself have a MX62R Cressida but it still has the original 5ME in it and I don't want to butcher mine to cross check all the wires.
Every thread read up I have seen on here either has different body plugs or have run it a completely different way.

If you could help me out that would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Jaimi

You might want to provide a bit more info...

What is the 5MGE from? ECU Part number? Keeping the 5MGE auto? etc....
