i got a better picture



u can click to enlarge.,....

my a/c doesnt work...

with these two plugs not connected to my car, it didnt stop it from running badass before

i also found a random plug not going to anything.. it was a red wire.. but all these things didnt prevent the car from running great before.. but figured now is time to investigate..

the random plug/wire is located on the right side near the firwall on top..... of a bunch of random stuff,,,,

Yup. Somebody removed your smog equipment. Err most of it anyway. I dont know if your smog pump is still in tact or not.

Red wire is probebly the fuel pump service turn on wire.

#1 so its obviously smog/air related.. is this taking away from horepower? its good to go i assume , and you guys seem to not think its a problem, thanx alot..

#2 The red wire/ plug is bundled with the orange wire going to the Engine compartment LAMP.... i assume this had something to do with the air/smog removal..

open/closed case thanx guys
