Default Car does not want to start :(

Got everything installed.
IP timing set to .85
New glow plugs.
Cranks OK.
Dash indicators OK with glow plugs.
I believe the problem is electrical.
There are 2 blue wires coming out of the wiring harness that I got no place to plug them in.
Looks like they plug somewhere close to the IP.
I got a blue and a yellow wires plugged to the IP.
Help me with this wiring issue.

Is it possible you got your timing 180 off? It's very easy to do.
Are you getting 12 volts to the fuel shutoff solenoid?
All the air is bled out of the fuel system?

I got 12v going to the blue wire. This wire is plugged to the lower plug in the IP. The yellow wire is plugged top.
The 2 blue wires missing to plug send 12v. I do not have a place to plug them.

The blue wire that has +12VDC when the ignition switch is ON should be connected to the IP fuel shutoff solenoid, see here for visuals. If that solenoid is not receiving +12VDC, it is not allowing fuel to the injectors.

Thanks Ngoma.
I had the wires plugged backwards.
Will try.
Any info on the two missing blue wires?
They are sending 12v with the switch on.
