Good to know that another FL tC has a TT kit and I'll be able to get some advice or tips when it comes down to installing the kit. Good luck and looking forward to the after video and pics when you get your car back in your own driveway.

okay... i *might* have isolated my start-up problem... i was looking at the 07 tC ECU pinout and comparing it with my dezod PnP harness to make sure that all of the wires were in the correct places... upon looking at my ignition coil ECU terminals, i found what i think is an irregularity in the harness.
ok, according to the ECU pinout on dezod's tech notes section of their website, the E8-14 through E8-17 terminals are for the ignition coils, as noted by this excerpt:
so, looking at that, this is what i came to conclude:
E8-17 (IGT1) is channel 1. now, according to my emanage manual's wiring diagram, channel 1 should be a blue wire. on my harness, this matches up. no problem. next.
E8-16 (IGT2) is channel 2. this should be a an orange wire. it's not, it's a purple wire. as i'll show in a second, i think the purple wire is for channel 4, not 2. next.
E8-15 (IGT3) is channel 3. this should be a yellow wire. again, it's not. it's an orange wire (that should be in channel 2). last one...
E8-14 (IGT4) is channel 4. this should be the purple wire, but it's not. it's the yellow wire.
here's a picture of what i'm talking about: you can see that the blue is in the correct location, but the others are not. according to my theory, it should be, in order: blue, orange, yellow, purple.
again...
if anyone knows off the top of their head that my harness is wired incorrectly (as i'm theorizing), can they please post and confirm? if not, can someone check on their harness and see if theirs is the same or different than mine? hopefully this is the problem. i'd rather have this be the issue and fix it then keep trying to figure out what's actually keeping my car from starting. i want my car back!!
P.S.- these wires have black stripes, which, according the to the emanage manual, denotes that they are the channel signal OUTs. can anybody confirm that they are on the correct side of the harness? the wires with white stripes are the channel signal INs, and they are on the more free-moving side of the harness (with the four plastic clips instead of the one, big clip like the one in the pics).
