Good evening,

I attached the engine diagram for you and larger images as well

Download it to your computer and enlarge it and then print it out. It gives wire colors and the name of the components.

I got the starter on and wires reassembled on the 1994 Deville. I am finishing up hooking up last of engine parts.. Problem has been i didn't take the engine out i was brought in the second half of it by reinstalling the engine. The person who took it out is not here to ask. I have a red positive wire coming from the battery that goes through and hooks somewhere but i can't find. Any pointers?

The positive cable red wire from the battery goes on the solenoid on the big terminal.

In your picture, it shows the cable right at the nut on the right side.

Wire comes out of the cluster from the positive battery connection and goes through the front of the engine compartment to the drivers side and is very long. It has a big eye hook at the end for a bolt to go in and then the nut with the eye-hook goes to? Not the starter. I already have the starter in and complete.

It could be from low voltage. What is the voltage of the battery?

What is the voltage when you try to start?

You could have a bad battery but need to confirm. Can you get a voltmeter?

The battery started up the old motor. So the battery is good. I do not have a voltimeter. Would it work better if i jumped started the car?

Do not assume it is good. That was then and this is now.

If the battery is shorted, it will not take a jump. If it is low, it may take a jump.

Yes, make sure you have the battery cable wire to the big stud on the solenoid.

There should be 2 other wires on that stud as well.

Then the small wire to the S terminal.

There are 5 wires. Two wires are bolted to the engine block, the a/c ground and the negative wire. The red positive wire and the yellow battery sensor lead are on the big stud of the starter. The purple wire is on the small right stud of the starter.

Okay, what about the power wires to the interior?

There should be more wires on the battery stud.
