Re: i don't know where these go, please help my car

Pic 1: Those are just mounting holes I think. Is there a bracket for that laying about?

Pic 2: That connector goes to the A/C compressor clutch.

Pic 3+4: Vacuum..... do you still have the vacuum hose routing diagram under the hood? I would consult that for what goes where when it comes to vacuum.

vacuum leaks will cause some odd behavior, but, I think dieseling would be more related to timing/idle settings?
