Several questions after FD rebuild

hi!
several days ago i almost finished work with my fd3s 00' AT.
I have several problems:
-doesn't work coolant temperature sensor on dashboard;
-exhaust under the hood (downpipe is tightened only with three bolts, also i don't have air pump - may it cause problem?);
-yesterday i turned D, rPM became so low and there was no response to the acceleration and i stalled

Questions:
what can i check to fix it?
where can i find wire scheme for my fd? i mean, for example, this green wire to fuel temp sensor or just pictures
could car stalled because flap on throttle body didn't work?

sorry my english )

You probably forgot to attach the electrical connector to the coolant temp sensor. Or attached the wrong wire to it. If I remember correctly, the coolant temp sensor for the gauge is either under the throttle body elbow or behind the thermostat housing.

Yes. 3 bolts means it will result in an exhaust leak.

Wire diagram can be found in the Factory Service Manual (FSM) which you can download from the 3rd gen FAQ thread stickied in this forum.

Good luck.

Wow
It doesn't start! I drive it two times (about 300 meters at all)!
I tighted downpipe with all bolts. Changed sensors (fuel-coolant) and turned on the ignition...

Before car died i:
- removed wire which was on catalyst (i think it's ground?)
- i added some 2cycle oil to my fuel
also fuel level is on the penultimate graduation

May it cause my problem?

No, all sensors are connected

Today i went to my car home i checked spark plugs - they were wet.
Also i checked compression. First time it was ~105 105 105 (more than 100) and in second chamber ~ 105 105 15, then i check in second chamber again - 15 105 15. I was soooo saad, but checked it again - 105 105 105. Then i tried to start it - no result. Checked spark plugs - they were wet again...
so tomorrow i will check my spark plugs... what should i check else?
