If you mean the ATS plug is hanging loose with no sensor on it, then the fuelling will be enrichened by the ECU, about 5% (from memory). This is a feature of the system.

Some of mine. Many more on file if needed.

It is totally rewired, with ALL wiring coming onto the engine from the rear.

This line goes all the way to the right side manifold, then split into T, going forward to vacuum canister, under right fender front.
This canister is supposed to keep extra vacuum, in case if you need to hit your brakes fast, I guess.
See mine here, it is red on this pic.

I wonder if the canister is plugged off because it's leaking, might want to check it first!

If he still has one in there, some wise idiots think that they can remove anything the do not understand. My predecessor was one of them.

This is the vac feed to the cruise control system. If you have not got the cruise control bellows etc fitted, then it stays capped off.

Hmmm...dunno why it wouldn't post the 1st time, but I'll try again. My engine bay, it isn't finished yet though. I still have the injection harness sitting on top without the heat shielding on it. Makes it easier to move out of the way for now, but once I've worked the bugs out of the engine I'll wrap it up and tuck it out of the way.

and why is your coil different?

When I upgraded the twin coils to a single coil, I moved the amp in front of the radiator and used the same holes that held the coil there. Just used longer bolts.
