Default s1 vs s2 engine diferences

i put this engine in 6 months ago on me 3i conversion i still cant get it running properly its sounds like its missing and wont tick over ive changed everythin with known working stuff from fuel pump tp metering unit plugs to dizzy, ive even took the loom i put in and put a s1 loom in as it works better with all the sensors in the dash, but ive got s2 ecus and engine i heard it dont make a difference, ive checked for air leaks while its running and off i thing i thought was weird is the dizzys turned fully towards the car till it hits the bolt but if i turn it back it gets worse,

i know the ecu is chipped but another thing is theres sensors ie cold start etc i dont know which is what
this is a late s2 engine with s1 loom
theres a cold start valve i assume blue connector goes on this
theres one under browny colour is this thermo time switch
and theres another on the sanwich/manifold whats this
then there the aux air device which one goes on this?
then theres one on a water pipe with a round white conector
and theres a green knock sensor but havent got the wiring for it i hear s1 didnt have them also i dont have a amal valve yet just plumbed comp to act and wireing plugis just hanging.

sorry for the long essay but want to give as much info as i can,i cant get it anywhere its all resprayed and ive spent so much more than i wanted to i could of bought a mint s1 by now , but i wanted a project to do but now its getting to me now if anybody near leics has experience and has a idea i dont mind paying someone to come over its just i cant get it anywhere,this is my last push before it gets the axe through the bonnet lol

anyhelp gladly appreciated thanks in advance
