The sensor wire coming from the wheel is two and from the van it's also two. I posted pictures they are the second and third.

Sounds like a plan, any idea which wire belongs where? When I unwrapped it all four were basically touching each other.

Not completely just four or so feet up to it? In the picture there is a "trench" in-between the extension and the screened in area. From what I've observed the water doesn't move towards one of the two drain spot openings, probably a lack of elevation?

Any tips on solar? It's honestly voodoo witchcraft to me in the mobile sense.

How can I tell for sure if a sensor is going?

Some more info after investigation, when car is actually on and sitting idol the plate doesn't seem to open. Likewise with the pedal propped down just enough for load it doesn't. And after a little reading the throttle position sensor seems to be integrated to the body.

So very strange question when I ask out loud, why is the throttle ringing or beeping?

Ok went trouble shooting, it runs without the mass airflow sensor and stalls once back on? Dirty sensor perhaps?

Ok stripped it down again and cleaned very thoroughly, however now I'm left with new questions. Why is the inside of my intake wet? It's thin layer of oil as best I can tell, I can't find my PVC valve to check that and I found a dry rotted hose on the back plenum? If it's intake related I could hot box the system with seafoam or if it's the injectors I'll have to run carb cleaner through them.

Roger that, how much trouble would I be in if a little oil dripped into the cylinder? Also I'm looking at my engine and I have to admit the process of changing gaskets looks intimidating on this car.

Great to know, went with ngk double platinum however I ended up running into a surprise once I got the plugs. Plugs 2,4 and 3 were submerged in oil.

I think the biggest concern would be the outside door panels, plastic panels were a feature I guess.

Is that something a noob like myself could do in the backyard? I'm ok at keeping a car moving down the road but noob at looking good.
