Dreaded No Start fixed (hopefully...)

Also, where is the purple starter wire under the hood? I know it comes off the starter and goes into a smaller bundle but not sure where it goes from there. Don't really want to pull the plenum again to find it. Got any pics of the purple wire coming out of the harness?

My digital cameras battery is dead, so can't get you a pic right now. Later today I'll get it charged and take a pic.

The purple wire is easy to find, remove the wire cover off of the ECM, it's held on by velcro, no bolts to take off. This exposes the main bundle going toward the motor. Open up the main bundle, you may have to cut some tape to open up the plastic sheath. There is only one #10 purple wire in the bunch.

It goes directly to the starter solenoid, but where it goes back into the car is anybody's guess. There's not a lot of room and there's a LOT of wires there.
