so i found the connection for the green connector by the thermostat... it was right in front of my face... im so dumb lol.
the other green connectors that look the same have on wire going to them and the wires are clear.
here are some pictures. but i also found another connection with a big rubber cover around it. it has one wire going to it and its a square connector. the wire is yellow and black.

oh and the green connectors on the driver side run on the harness right nest to the intake manifold. one on either side of the throttle body. and it looks like they should be run down through the intake manifold and plug into something underneath it. but i dont know where

what the hell is that tea cup doing inside your engine bay? man they cram the weirdest t stuff in there. no seriously wtf is that? the green connector plugs into the thermostat housing. but I don't recall ever seeing that plastic cover before.

The one with the rubber boot is the oil pressure sender's connector; The boot covers the sender. Under the exhaust manifold and up from the oil filter... look for a metal can just small enough to fit in that rubber boot.

The matching pair are for the knock sensors. They're located under the intake manifold, one is between cylinders #5 and #6 (between the starter and the block) and the other is up between cylinders #1 and #2.

You sure you got the harness patched up correctly? Any error codes (do you know how to check them)?

so after screwing around with it for the past couple days i got it to start. it started 3 or 4 times and died a couple seconds later. so i was really confused and didnt know y. i broke it down and thought about everything one more time, and as i was thinking i realized there was a vacuum hose and a coolant line that i hadnt hooked up. hooked them up and it started. but i couldnt rev it at all. i would touch the gas and it would die. so then i thought a little more and.... bammmmm!!!! i realized i hadnt hooked up the cold start injector and i tried for a little while and didnt have time to hook it up. so im hoping that it was the problem. i will update this thread when ive hooked it up and if it works then yay if not then damn.

also when it warmed up for 15 minutes i was able to rev it but i could only do it slowly. if i just jammed down the gas it would sputter and miss and the rpms wouldnt increase. i just wanted another opinion or two about it. i believe its because of the cold start injector but someone should tell me if that theory is correct.

thank you so much for all the help. i really appreciate it.
oh and i cant find that damn connection for the oil pressure sending unit thing.
and i tested for codes and all i could get was a code 11?? what is that??
