Let's play 'Name That Connector'

Today's contestant is a 1986 GXL with the emissions removed and a S5 engine. The engine wiring harness was partially unwrapped to get injector and BAC wires where they needed to be, but there are a couple of wires that are having trouble finding a home.

I'm assuming at least one of these connectors goes to the alternator and/or the air pump? The air pump is gone and I don't have the alternator on yet, but that still leaves a third connector here:




These are down by the spark plugs. I have no idea where these go:

the white & black double pigtails are for solenoid valves in/on the ACV. I think you've got it blocked off, so no worries there. single spade connector w/ a green/black wire is for the thermoswitch kick on of the aux efan- you don't have one unless car was originally an auto.

Ones by the spark plug- 2 plug pigtail w/ single wire: oil level sensor, (in oil pan)

single spade connector: oil thermo sensor (not needed, tells ecu to do 3k rpm warm up cycle or not.)

Thank you very much! That makes things so much simpler for me. I was struggling to find where those plugged in.
