As I spent a lot of time today poking around the engine to see what I could see, I found a lot of wires that terminated without connection. The original builder started with a carburetor'd Zetec, and decided after beginning the build to switch to fuel injection. We've already figured out they installed a Pectel T2 ECU and loom. These little guys are labeled Engine Map (green connector) and Fuel (red connector), and a couple that say Oil Press. I am guessing they are legacy wires not used in the current setup. I can't follow them yet, because they terminate into a mass of electrical tape that I'd like to undo and zip-tie. It may become evident they are useless, but I figured I'd ask if others have wires with no use in their engine bay. I thought the loom also had more wires than were needed for our setups, so maybe they are meant not to be used? I could check the diagrams sent to me by the other members, but I'm on a roll posting today.

And then I found this tube coming from low on the port side of the engine (Zetec) that terminates into this handy cap at the aft of the engine, and it's clearly about to give way. I'll be replacing all hoses hopefully in time to get the car down to Ontario for the dyno day late July, but I was curious what this capped off tube used to do. It's not to the catch can, as that connection is working fine.

Sorry for being the new guy with limited auto knowledge. Tell me where to send the check, or who to buy the beer. I'll have to bring extra cash if I get the car down to southern California.
