Okay, so just for clarification, I'm a noob when it comes to DSM's. Lol. I'm a SBF guy. After I rebuilt my motor, everything new for the most part, I can't figure out where these two lines go, and it causes the car to idle high, as I've plugged them off and it idles around 750. One is on the top, drivers of the intake manifold, and one is on the intake (passenger side) by the fuel rail. Help please!
Thanks,
Logan

The first picture you posted goes to the brake booster that's located on the drivers side.

Then the other side of the hose that the brake booster is connected to goes into the back of the intake on pic 1 that you posted.

Pic 2 goes to the valve cover pcv and then to the hose connector between the fuel rail/injectors.

I took some pics to avoid confusion because my wording may be weird. let me know what you find out.

BTW how do you have those connected ATM?

The intake pipe breather hose is connected to the side of the valve cover in case that's mixed up. I posted a pic that I had on hand if you look close enough you'll see what I'm talking about how the side of the valve cover an intake pipe connect together.

I didn't have them connect at all! I so appreciate your help, after I rebuilt the motor I trashed the old hoses and put all new vacuum lines and hoses on. And I seem to have forgot those two, the car now idles at a smooth 700. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm a noob so beware. Where do these two lines go? right under the throttle body.
Thank you in advance! (Pictures would help too as I'm not familiar with these motors).

I don't think they did, the guy to have it before me couldn't even get it to run, much less turn over. I rebuilt the motor and couldn't remember where those went LOL.
 
Another quick question, where should the oil pressure sensor/switch be wired too? My oil gauge doesn't work at all
 
Hello all, once I got my car rebuilt and running, I've run into two problems, it idles rough as heck and seems like it doesn't have much power, and my oil pressure gauge doesn't work, and there isn't a wire going to it at all, if I was to wire it up, how would I go about that?
Thanks, Logan
 
If I could hug you right now I would LOL. I had no clue what those two wires hanging off the alternator were, and the last guy put wire caps on them.
Thank you!
 
I assume you mean the power transistor that switches the current to the coils. It's dumb so I wouldn't consider it to be an ignition control module, the ECU does all the work on these cars.

These cars have a wasted spark so 1 and 4 is one pair where 2 and 3 is the other. If the problem is ignition related you usually loose both cylinders of the pair.

What's you compression readings?
How did the old plugs look?

Since you don't think it's missing, how is it acting rough?

This is a 1990 Non-Turbo 2.0L car, right? Manual or Auto?
 
I mean it's still very possible to be misfiring, but since I've changed everything I didn't think it'd be likely. I just changed the ignition control module because I wasn't getting spark. It seems to miss or hesitate under load (accelerator). Mostly 2nd and 3rd gear. It's a manual, 90 2.0 nt. I haven't done a compression test yet but will tomorrow after work, and be sure to post the results! The old plugs were rusty and oily. I did replace a head gasket and all other essential components, plugs are just oil fouled now.
