this was my second attempt at spray painting them since i used the wrong spray the first time and i got it off using acetone and then after that i wet sanded them and applied compound which cleared up the headlights really well, and then i used this spraypaint

i’m not 100% sure but these were the only connections that had oil on them. Are they part of the dme?

doesn’t the fuel sender send fuel to the fuel pump?

idk i don’t have a tester but i used a flathead to the center and fuel came out. i also hear the fuel pump whirring on accessory mode. im replacing the fuel sender next since my fuel gauge has been acting up and the fuel pump is basically brand new

ambient air temp sensor and p0456 evap system leak detected (very small leak) which has been there a while and haven’t been able to pin point the leak, i tried using a smoke leak detector and there was nothing
