#1- This plug runs along side a vacum line that goes to manifold in the front of engine. It will plug in to a/c but so does the wire in picture #3. So im confused with which one goes where. Where does this go?

I yanked out some b.s alarm that was installed on the car and it looks as though this relay was tapped into the starter solenoid wire. Can I delete this relay, Is it not stock?

Here is the other wire that has the same plug as number one picture. Does this go to the ac? Where does this go? It is on the same harness as and close to the coolant sensor.

Lastly, the wire iam holding is from the starter. Does this go where my fingers are about to put it? and did i put the other wire (ground) on the right terminal? Also, i have a 3 g that iam about to wire. What terminal do i put the 4 gauge wire to? The leeft or right? Thanks

the wire in pic 3 goes to the charcoal canister, there should be another wire come up from it to plug in to. The starter wire goes to the front side of the senoid.

..and the 3g alternator wire should go to the left stud (in that pic), the one that's connected to the battery. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

First off I would have taken pictures of everything BEFORE I took it apart so I would have a reference when it was time to reinstall. But that is just me.

The plugs in question hopefully have different colored wires going to them. You should be able ot sort it out with a wiring diagram. What year is it? Auto zone has some pretty good diagrams.

the starter wire your holding goes to the post on the right.
the wire you now have on the right post needs to go to the left post, you should only have the starter wire on the right post and nothing else unless you've gone to a mini starter?

The first guy told me to put it on the left post as picture. I did that and the car starterted and nothing blew up. Are you sure bro?
