I've got a couple questions for ya guys, most of them are probably obvious and stupid ones, but I'd rather ask and be sure since I've got a pretty penny and a lot of hours into this project.

So I pulled my engine after a lil' timing mis-hap and had it completely rebuilt and now it's going back in. So I'm at the stage where I'm trying to remember where all the connections, well, connect.

The first on is the one that I've really been looking for and I just can't find anywhere for it to plug into. It's zip-tied in with all the injector plugs and wires. I think maybe it was for the air system when it was in (it's gone now). Here it is.....

The next one is a little weird connector thats bundled with the alternator and oil pump connections. I found a place to plug it on the front of the power steering pump, is this right? Maybe for some sort of an idiot light? Pic...

And the last couple have to do with the oil filter housing. My first question is about the oil cooler. it doesn't matter what line goes to what hole does it? As long as it goes out, gets cooled, and comes back right?

The last one is that i have a little connector that I'm pretty sure goes on a sensor thats on the front of the oil filter housing, theres no tab for it, but i think it got knocked and bent off. What is that sensor, oil pressure or oil temp? Pics.....

Thanks for any help guys.
 
1st one looks like the connector for the O2 sensor that is inside the O2 housing.
The second one appears to be correct.

The third one does go on the oil sending unit on the bottom of the oil filter housing as you thought. There should be a small male terminal that the plastic female/wire slides on to.
 
Well I know that the first one def isn't the O2 sensor, I've already got that one all wrapped up.

The one for the oil pressure sensor I've got both of those hooked up, But I think I read that the one on the front is for an idiot light. Right or wrong?
 
yeah a/c compressor plug. The other side should be in the same harness as the injectors.

Wells thanks for the help guys.

I noticed the line looked a little kinked, do you think it could cause some problems? Anyone know where I could get a new one?

I'd just take some pliers and squeeze out that kink, but be careful, you could split the line wide open if you mess with it too much.
A new part is also always a solution.
 
Alright, it seems I've got one more connection that I'm not sure where it goes. At first I had my new knock sensor plugged into it, but tonight I was double and triple checking everything and found that it wasn't the right one (it pushed on pretty hard to begin with). And I found the right plug for the knock sensor.

But now I have yet another plug that hopefully had something to do with the A/C system when it was in. Hopefully you guys can nail down this one for me too......
