Worked on getting the wires sorted out a little . Talked to Kyle about helping me get things hooked up . Which is going to help out so much . Thank you Kyle . fixed the passenger side window and reinstalled the interior panels on that side . So felt like I got something done today . Sometimes it just takes that first burst of energy to get going on something (thats what it feals lkie to me) and once I'm over that hump usually get on a good role . Welp it felt good to work on it a little , rather than just thinking about what I should be doing . Anyways here's a couple pics.

Worked most of the day on wiring . I labled a little more than half of the wires that are dangling below the dash . The wiring diagram is starting to become clear . The part I'm not really getting is how they hook up to the fuse block . It's not clear to me at this point . Question , should I replace all the female connection pieces ? or would that be over kill . They seem to look ok to me . Any help would be greatly appreciated .

I presume this means the "rat's nest" is all sorted out and you are good to go now? :)

Vacuum leak or fuel pressure issue. Get a gauge on it and make sure your pressure is between 28- 30 PSI. The pressure regulator on these is adjustable.

Wish I'd seen this thread a few months ago- I have harnesses for both the car and the FI stashed away.

Almost there. Had to put a floor in my daughters room tonight, or it would have been in.
