What to do?

[mrparks]

I have a major problem in my z. It came this way, so don't threaten to shoot me.

 

Judging by the state of the engine (Spark plugs being sooty, bogging under WOT) it's running rich, and for a obvious reason. The entire EFI set up is so screwed up I'm surprised it even ran.

 

In the interior side of the car, I have a lot of loose wires.

 

 

(Driver side)

 

 

(Passenger Side)

 

 

And a horrible, horrible splice.

 

I worked most of the morning getting the fuel hoses

worked out. Almost there, except for the metal line on the manifold being defective.

 

So what would be the best way to approach this problem? I'm semi-positive that I have the mechanical part of it down, and the fuel is physically able to get to the engine, but the EFI system wouldn't be able to meter it (Hence the running rich).

 

Is the fuel damper supposed to be in the engine compartment? (I'm only asking because it was, and I didn't see anything like that in the Haynes Manual.)

 

Thanks for the help.
