I just bought my 99 GSX with 76000 miles :D but the person I bought it from isnt the original owner so he has no idea what any of this stuff is maybe some of you can shed some light on these pictures? and also the car has been sitting since 2007 and I bought it as is, the guy claims it ran before being stored away but the clutch pedal is stuck to the floor i can push and pull it back and fourth without much resistance whats the problem? Slave cylinder? the resevoir is full of fluid. (small white cup on the very right drivers side right?) what all do I need to do before starting up? I know ill need to drain the gas whats the easiest way to? Its half full :(

OK I see, the pump is all ready rewired as others stated, so this is going to be more easy for you, here is what you have to do, at the relay, there is a wire that goes from the relay to the fuel pump connector, if my memory doesn't fail, it is a blue with black stripe, adding + to this wire will turn on the pump, It doesn't matter what size wire you use, any wire will work, but if you turn the switch to the ON position, you will see positive on the relay side, so just make a jump from the positive line (at the relay) to the line that goes to the pump connector.

This is a basic relay (post #9) http://www.wranglerforum.com/f8/1994-yj-headlight-issues-142788.html which I be leave is the one you have, check the diagram on post #9, It tells you how it is wired.
On that post they used it for head lights, so just imagine the headlight is the fuel pump, the battery wire (30) is the feed line that comes from the battery or switch, and the headlight (87) is your fuel pump wire, so saying that, you only need to make a jump from the 30 connector (+) to the 87 connector (+ fuel pump wire).

Just remove both connectors and put them together, this way you are adding + to the fuel pump, (you will not need any extra wire).

If you don't see power at the connector, then turn the switch to the ON position and you should be able to see power).

Hope You understand what I am saying.

Perfectly understood thanks alot! The fuel was drained and filled with fresh fuel, and she started up beautifully after soo long. Thanks Im giving you rep points

I think those first wires go to the stereo. Like people said a bluetooth, looks like an old phone connection/charger that would hook to the stereo, and possibly an AUX cable?

And that's what I thought but the wires all run underneath the dash and out of sight. I found this PDA looking thing under the seat that connect to the one wire. Although I can't get it to turn on. For tuning?

Not exactly, more for logging. May just need to charged and can be turned on. Basically an ons scanner, tell you codes, o2 read out, etc. I usually see them for 1g cars because our obd1 usually can't be read by an normal store bought scanner. Mine has obd1 scanners adapters yet none fit, I have an adapter that supposed to work yet never tried it.

I will have to checkout how to charge it and see what happens. Im having compressor surge I think. When I let off the throttle it surges, sometimes i hear the Tial BOV then right after surge but not often, just surge. New spring or what? Im not sure exactly what's under the hood Im still researching but, when I do a launch and the turbo boosts up, the rear end fish tails, all fours lose traction for a second, not like any other turbo'd awd cars I've driven before. This car has balls, but Im not running it hard right now due to the surge.

Glad it turns right ON, time to enjoy the ride.

If you don't want to risk it, just keep it easy till you do a complete timing change including water pump, I bet that timing belt is in its last days of life.

Good luck with it.

It sounds amazing I love it. I will post a video of it, if possible.
I will be doing all of the belts and water pump this weekend
