Check the colours with the diagram but I think they are 4th & 5th gear EGR switches and a neutral switch.

There's no EGR on 1.0's (afaik) , so the only switch on the 1.0 litre loom you can use is for reverse.

EGR is controlled on WT's by the little black box under the glovebox. NT's don't have the EGR swtches on the gearbox IIRC.

Was it running in the other car????

If you have a test light or multi meter check for power at the coil.
If you have power then crank it and check for spark from the coil lead.
If you have spark from the coil lead check for spark at the plugs.
If you have spark at the plugs it probably isn't getting fuel.

what am I missing Jas?

It's a 1.3 in a 1.0, no? So all the plugs on the 1.3 box won't have anywhere to go anyway??

The little earth wire behing the dizzy to firewall is easy to miss.
On a modded to fit a 1.o engine, don't assume wiring is correct color, ignition coil wires may be backwards..I'm rough I know :)

You should be able to buy the switches to refit to box if needed.
1 leans out fuel for 4th, another for 5th under certain conditions.
And 1 reverse light...some have a 4th wire that have have no idea on.

Don't assume everything on donor donk is in place or in place correctly.

I tried to start a motor with no rotor button once :oops:

Jas is coorect but I'd probably do it in the reverse order. Check spark. If spark at the plug leads are ok, squirt a tiny bit of fuel down the carby. If it starts momentarily, you have a fuel supply problem. If it still doesn't start, it may possibly be flooded or there is a mechanical problem, eg timing belt out a couple of teeth.

Firing order is 1-3-4-2.
Clutch adjustment maybe OR is the transfer in neutral?
I would think an NT one litre, driveable car with no motor/box would be worth at least $1000.
