4) Does Starter Crank Engine?
5) Does Engine fire/ start when Starter Cranks for 2 seconds?
6) Does RPM value (~200 RPM or less) appear on Tach or Scan Tool Live Data for RPM during Starter Cranking?

4/5: The starter does crank the engine, and will keep cranking. I let it go for about 8 seconds two times, and I didn't hear the engine fire at all.

Carly can’t connect to the engine.

I'm wondering if I connected something wrong in the engine harness box. I had all the wiring out to pull the motor out of the car. There is one connector towards the front of the harness box, where 3 red wires all plug in, and it seems like they could be swapped.

If anyone has any ideas please lmk.

Backstory on the car. I drove it home one day fine. Next day it wouldn't start.
I pulled the intake manifold and the starter. The starter was filled with grease.(Bad dual mass flywheel) The little power flaps (I always forget the name of those for the 3 stage manifold) were broken.

I ended up deciding to pull the motor out, because my oil pan gasket was leaking as well. I pulled it and replaced these parts.
