OMG! help me fix these wires

ok this first one came out frucked, u cant really make out the colors.. there s blue ong center foreground.. I belive it's yellow stripe/ sky blue. possibly double silver hash marks. I'll check on this.. here a photo anyway feel free to docter it and re-load it.. i tried but to no sucsess.. just look at this mess tho.. crimps and such.. dont all these go to a harness u can disconnect??



this is showing the hack job directly under the steering of most of the criticle wires.. one knut has fallen off, no real issues here..that i know of, and the flash was way too bright..those bright scuareish things are the wire tie nuts things



this one is 3 wires, bottom wire is double silver has marks, red outer with i think a gray center line. top is single silver has mark, black line, red.
the last one left side is all black with double silver hash marks.. I see no other wires that correspond to these.. I have gotten my gas gauge working again tho. by hooking up the ones I was certain that match...



This is the two blue wire on the bottom of the resivoir.. whre the heck are these soppose to hook up? i see no other corresponding wires hanging around lose.. posssible that its wrapped up..



This other wire is a blue/with a yellow center.. I'm sure it hooked up to the PS pump on that little peg.. I have removed this.. And wonder if the check engine light may be on cause this wire is undone..



Now this last set of wires I left hanging lose, but today whiel i was looking things over while it was running.. the black/white wire made a connection to the air filter to the frame.. and the car almost shutoff before i pulled it away and duck taped it..

there is also A red/orange it appears to be. These wires would be under the air intake near the drivers side wheel well. and i haven't yet pulled everything off to see what they come from.. most likely ecu..



I'm trying to figure out where these wires are soppose to go, what are they for. If you need more information please let me know how to help you help me.

Right now i have a constant check engine light that has momentarily maybe a few seconds turned off after i got the front of the engine under the thermostat wet. And want to have these hooked up where tey need to be before i go spending money replaceing things..

Jesus bro , all those under the dash go to a old alarm the blue and green ones go to your power door locks so i wouldn't worry about those unless they dont work, just make sure you connect those wires color to color and for the ones under the hood, can you zoom out and take a few pics so I can see exactly where they are under the hood.

yea, my power mirriors dont work either.. but i feel that just the switch, its sloppy now.. was fine before i took it to this place called duffy's.. just the switch and a few lose bolts i had to tighted up again after they did a timeing belt job..this i'll do it myself this time just like everything else.. I can't say i've gone to a shop recently with any car and have it come back to be fixed.. atleast the belt has been fine..

My doors dont lock anyway.. one day both sides of the car just did not lock.
and then my bros car was only like this momentarily.. 86 honda prelude...

my passenger side door unlocks.. manually i'm talking about..

the ones under the hood.. are yea right where i said they were. if u had the stock air box. you would have to remove all that. and there they were. i'll try and get another angle.

the tranny is in the background thats its right side..

Alright heres another angle.. this camera sux at focusing on multiple distances...just pics the largest and closest object and thats in focus...

What about the resivoir wires.. I've read that if connected right may make my check engine light go out? I used to be able to disconnect the fans from the thermostat and ch. engine would stay off.. and check engine wouldn't come on till it got kindahott. Now jumped or not, the light is on and stays on.. I keep them jumped to run at high.. trying to keep things as cool as possible.. I haven't replaced anything on the TB or the o2..would spark plugs or coil? make a check engine light stay on?


But the wires in my hand are the ones in question...

Hood latch light??? a 12v lighting wire will almost kill the car? if you ground it out? If the black / white is ground and not neutral or something, that black /white wire is a live wire it seems more then that, the energy in those sparks i saw was realy strong, but the wire is gauged for instrumentation/switches... multiples small wire strands...12-14ga..

the orange lined/red wire, and black/white wire. bottome pics the orange may possibly be white.. as a few batteries blew when i first got the car...v-reg over charge....

the wires are good, the coverings were not, replaced with that courrugated plastic crap...

this is in a sections i haven't touched.. theres a white clip harness very near where it goes into the wrap for more of a refrence, as its not apart of these 2 wires.....that red wire doesn't seem to do anything and probrably reads a voltage etc.. so u may be right.. but if it were a switch.. wheres the bulb? and the wireing for that?

what are these wires continued

hmm,
well, i've taken 2 pictures of the same 2 wires at diffrent angles. described them thouroughly i think, in one picture the colors under the descriptions can plainly be seen.

What exactly are u asking to be in the picture? I can't say i dont know where it is when i look at the pics, cause i took them.. and have worked with this car for 3 yrs now.. i'm familiar. But not an expert. I feel if your gonna drive a car, u need to know the car inside and out as well.


Anyone with wireing experience, or engines swap experience could help with this. Or engine bay clean -up =P nice man nice.. as they may know the colors of things under the hood. If it's just a light, then it will stay a constant voltage. I'll test this and post the results. hooking up a bulb or vulti meter.. sry snow, the b-wire is right in front of the wires going into the wrap.. so that could also be hard to see. hmm.. would it help to try and disconnect this section...and take a photo of that.. hopeing the wires in quesion will be the only ones not in a harness...i would think that would be even more difficult to decide where the wires should be going too?

I had a guy give me some good schematics. but it's in a web box for a website admin i can't afford right now.. things just piled up. Just when i thought i could start setting aside cash and not spend it on the car. I gotta get it inspected. Stupid check engine light.. I need to program that crap out man.. Do programmable ecu's give you this much crap?

If these go to some engine management or something. maybe more performance could be had..
