I've been checking continuity with most of the connectors on my harness, but I have a few that aren't mapping to the engine wiring diagram. I could use some help identifying some... described below. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

1) A square, 4 prong (2 on bottom ,2 on top configuration) connector in coming off of the same bundle as my MAF plugs. It is in between the rear and front MAF plug. What is this for?

2) In the same location, there is a tubular looking plug taped very close to the harness. It has one prong. ?

3) Very close to the alternator plug, I have a round grey 2 prong connector. I couldnt find any sensors near there? is this for power steering?

4) what does the large, 8 prong connector splitting off from the PCM (boost control solenoid) connector connect to? and purpose?

5) a 3 prong conector with only 2 wires where the main harness first connects near the fuel rail. looks to be coming from the fan side of the engine.

6) a 2 prong connector coming from the engine harness in the sameposition.

7) 2 small connectors (2 prong each, identical - one black, one white) at the very end of the lower RB harness,down stream of the starter. front transfer case maybe?

8) a small grey connector splitting off where the oil temp sensor connects back to the harness with 2 wires going into it.

I know this is kinda long, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the input, JonPowell. I suspect plugs C and D MAY plug somewhere into the awd trans, and hence are not needed... but I am not sure. Can someone w/ an RB26 wired up check for B, C, D? thanks

thanks nameless... one more thing, if you wouldnt mind checking. The connector to your throttle position sensor (not the throttle valve switch).. the sensor side is an oval female plug, correct?

Its weird b/c the plug which is supposed to plug into that sensor coming from my harness is an elongated also female plug. I checked continuity and its definitely the right plug. A little confused here...
