Default Neutral Safety Switch Please Help!

I have a 92 LX with an automatic tranny.My buddy and Ipulled the tranny out and had it rebuilt. now i have it back in and my car wont start. i havnt done anything different to the engine and it started just fine before i pulled out the tranny. Everything is working great, but it seems like im not getting spark to the distributor. I was told it could be the neutral safety switch? So i looked on the left side of the tranny where it is supposed to be andthe switch isnot there. Where does that hook up to on my car? I know one end hooks up to the left side of the tranny, but where else on my cardoes that hook up to so i can look for it.

Its my everyday driver and i need it back on the road asap.
Please Help Me...

If by no start you mean engine doesn't crank, check the NSS switch......



If by no start you mean engine cranks but doesn't start, need to check if you have spark and fuel. You may want to check the "EFI No start" procedure link at the end of the page here.

Yep.... make sure the clutch pedal switch assy. is in good working conditions, and that there are no wiring problems. One connector or switch of the dual switch assy is for starter control, and the other switch is to "inform" the ECM the system is in neutral via the clutch pedal.
