limp mode issue

88 fc n/a swapped a 89 tii engine. car does start.i'm fairly certain that its in limp mode due to the oil lvl sensor and/or oil pressure sensor not being hooked up. problem is no idea where the wires are and when i look at the fsm i don't see any pin that looks like either one go the ecu. o2 sensor isnt hooked up also but thats not limp mode worthy. i have the n333 with n318 afm and boost sensor. any ideas or questions?

If you are running the N333 on the engine than it is Like an S4 and therefore NO limp mode is possible.
What is the car doing that you Suspect "limp mode"?

sounds and feels like 1 rotor is running. i changed the plugs. just to start small. am i correct in thinking i can start my car on my n327. if so should i swap the old boost sensor and afm in? cause swaping the ecu back is my next try. if its all good then i get a new n333 or build a mega squirt.

Oil pressure and level do not run to the ECU. Are you using all S4 sensors on the engine or not?

update. swapped ecu's no change really made sure pin 1R was clipped checked all my connections many times. do i have to swap my n/a CAS? i havent cause i didnt think i had to i never took this one out either i pulled engine from a running car. only thing i can say is it seems like once in a while i can get both rotors to fire but it wont stay running. im going to swap the coils right now.
