Under the hood, look for an AFPR (looks like a flying saucer with > 2 fuel lines running from it), the splices are at the cam position sensor at the grey/4 pin connector. there is also a black 4 pin connector which goes from the blower to the front engine wiring harness (where the PS wire is) and disappears there. you probably want me to trace that wire, right? the fuel lines go directly to the fuel rail. there is a round piece which i believe is the stock fuel pressure regulator at the fuel rail. there is a *knock sensor* on the right side near/on the motor mount/starter assembly > or maybe a rectangular box that says "MSD". i know what these look like, dont have this. thanks, peter -- Medio tutissmus ibis You will go most safely by the middle course
