Hey so, I've almost got 'er running again. But now I'm finding all these wires that the previous owner mashed and twisted together. None of them are soldered or heat shrunk, and it's incredibly difficult identifying where they even lead to. So, I'm not sure whether or not the pictures will even do any justice, but I figured i'd give it a shot.

First pic: A tube with black, blue, and red wiring coming from it. When I discovered it, two of them were capped off and the other was the only one exposed. I don't believe this has any significance.

Next Pic: Has a constant 12VDC to it. NO idea what it goes to..

Next Pic: Not electrical, but another questionable piece. I've seen this in other cars too, and was wondering what the heck it is!

Thanks for all your support!
 
well that hose goes to you intake. do you have a stock intake pipe?.

those wires im not sure. maybe some more pics of your engine bay will help us see what you have going on
 
Does this help? That stray wire with the continuous 12VDC is really weird. When I've got the battery hooked up, it doesn't show any charge, but with just the positive lead from the battery, it shows 12VDC. I haven't been able to trace it, but it's taped to the same harness leading to the cam angle sensor

Still have no idea what those three wires lead to; red, black, and blue with red stripe??

I've got an after market intake; what does the other end of that tube lead to?

I'm really stuck right now. I'm not getting any spark and I'm wondering if one of these things has something to do with it. As well, my cam position sensor was smoking the other week, and I was told that if I'm not getting any spark, it may be because of this? Is that true? I've checked the continuity and resistance of the coil packs and power transistor, and they both check out. Auto electronic systems are still very foreign to me and I really need a lot of help!!!

Here's some more pics if it helps. Thanks!
