That 1st pic yes it should be pluged. unless you have a boost gauge then you can use that.

ok i plugged that in and changed my fuel pump from a walbro to a jdm fairlady pump ( way too loud )

anyway i started the car it ran good at like 1500 rpm for about 30-40 seconds then shut off on its own now

i am thinking its fuel problem ? it was running very rough with the walbro at about 500 rpm then shut off

The Walbro is probably flooding it, the pump flows way too much volume...it is overrunning your stock pressure regulator....use the walbro, but get a new adjustable regulator

The idle air controller is run through the RB upper harness....should be completely self contained.

Leave the idle adjust screw alone, it is a ***** to reset it nice nice.
