What a horrible relocation job... Picture number 4 goes to the BISS screw on the throttle body.
I think number 2 is for the cruise control. I have the same connector in my bay from when I did my cruise delete. Picture number 3 is the fuses that are supposed to be connected to the positive terminal on the battery. Number one looks like the wires coming from the Alternator and are supposed to be hooked to the positive side of the battery...
 
it's really hard to tell from the pics. is the car running? if not then just be patient and see where the plugs go. they won't plug in into a connection it's not supposed to go into.

how about this? what ISN'T working in the car? that might help out point what's disconnected.
 
First picture - The two white wires most likely come from fuse box. The red wire is probably a power coming from somewhere (maybe the battery?). Not sure about the black. I'd take all that electrical tape off (AFTER disconnecting the battery) and get us a picture, as well as see how it's all connected. Can you get any pictures of where the wires go to? This would help.

Second picture - MAF plug maybe?

Third picture - Looks like the same stuff as in the first picture. You can also see the charcoal canister I believe.

Fourth picture - No idea what I'm to be looking at, maybe the thing you're holding?

Learn to use macro mode if you're taking the pictures with a camera. This will put items in focus that are really close to the lens. It is usually the little flower logo that changes to macro mode.

Also, please don't bump your thread. It's not allowed on this site.
 
thank you for all the help, and I'm sorry for bumping my own thread.

yes the car is running. But I have check engine light.. 31, and 12..
31 I believe is knock sensor, sucks I don't know if I'm going to have to change it, or if this nightmare doesn't have it plugged in
12 is Maf, i was trying to run the wires back to see if anything is disconnected to see if thats whats throwing me the light.

I'll put up new pics when i get out of school in about 2 hours
 
picture #3 is all the wires that are run to the positive side of the battery terminal. They are all connected to a wire that is ran to the trunk where the battery is now located. The tape around them is to keep them from being grounded out on anything. I have my battery relocated to they trunk and had to do the same. I would recommend to put a little more than electrical tape around the connectors thou.
