I recently had to do a motor on a car for the shop I worked at, and when we removed the engine we noticed some very damaged wiring going to the ignition coil, so we repaired the wiring and swapped the motor and everything went fine, then we went to back it out and it won't move or go in gear the transmission shifts, the motor changes rpm under load, and everything in the tcm is reading output speed from the motor and such so its all how its supposed to be, but upon further inspection we notice when fixing the wiring there were two wires running from the firewall by the master cylinder in there own separate wiring loom that spliced into the coil wiring that I assume are for some sort of signal, one is purple with a white tracer and the other is solid gray, well needless to say the solid gray one isn't connected and we don't know where in the wiring it is supposed to splice into and it looks a lot like the small gauge solid unmarked gray wires going into the transmission main connector so I'm assuming it is some sort of signal wire for the transmission. I can't find either the purple and white or the solid gray wire that splice into the harness at the coil wiring on any wiring diagram and I need to know where they go please help! If its any help as well for some reason with the key on engine off my transmission makes a buzzing noise in any gear but neutral and park.

Hi JOSHUA50441,

Yes, always fun when the transmission acts up after a engine change, if the transmission is not moving and making noises with no check engine light, I don't think its the wiring.

Did the torque converter stay back in place and was not allowed to move forward, and if it did move forward out the two or three stage input splines was it set and turned back into place, if not the transmission is damaged and will need rebuilding, this is the downside of r&r with an automatic.

Next, sometimes just unbolting and re-bolting the transmission to the engine can push it over the edge, its happened to me a few times over 30 years.

Found these wiring diagrams if you want to go over them to see if the wiring has anything to do with it, please get back to me

Best, Ken

Wow these answers the tech give. I knew right off the bat what these are. So, it has an aftermarket alarm and you're right the purple one more than likely went to the ignition coil. For the automatic start. Either take out the aftermarket alarm or fix those wires. Or you could even unplug the module for the aftermarket alarm. When you know you know.
