    Hey mate, your black plug is the cold start injector plug. that plugs into the one that sticks the top of the plenum, pretty much just behind where your hand is on the first picture.
    The blue one would be your TVIS (edit: sorry not TPS) plug, youll find that right underneath the plenum, should be the same colour male plug.
    im not too sure on the two green plugs sorry, hopefully someone else can figure that out for you.

    As for the other two pics the second one, the the pipe that comes out a bit (cant explain better lol) there should be a vac hose that comes off your charchol canister (black round canister under your washer bottle) and connects up to that, it takes all fuel vapour from the tank.

    And the last picture, im not too sure, but ive got a few of those sitting around. i dont think they connect up to much on a converted motor, but both my motors i just have that whole bottom bit taken off the throttle body and a blancing plate covering it so no air gets in.

    hope that helps mate

    I deleted the stuff that was correct

    Blue plug is definately not tps as it only has 2 pins! The flat green one looks more like tps, but that said ive never seen those plugs before on looms ive seen (perhaps a different loom?).

    As Grant said in the last picture, those pipes comming out are not used, UNLESS you have powersteering (and a/c i think). They are just idle up for when powersteering is used or ac is turned on. Just get some vac lines and block all of them off. In the second picture, as Grant said one goes to charcol canister, the other is a spare (block it off).

    First post edited, its your tvis plug not tps. Tps plug is a much larger black plug.

    As for the green ones i cannot think of what theyre for, the loom is short and is very near the bulk of where the injector looms are... so it would have to be something on the manifold.

    w48me, can you get a few more pics of the plenum and the plugs/sensors that are on around it... perhaps its for an aftermarket/replacement sensor or something and just isnt using standard plugs

    will it run without them?

    i spose just have a look around and see what isnt connected up... maybe it could be something just added into the loom for the previous owners motor.

    The green 2 plug links to the a solenoid valve for the purge canister or cold start I think, you can run without it. The Single wire is linked to the tacho signal from the igniter module, it is left unplugged. Google is for friend for the rest of the wiring.
