What are these?

The first one is some hose or tube that I broke the other day. It's the one being supported by the clutch fluid reservoir. I'm not 100% sure where it went. Thought it was washer fluid since the sprayers don't work all of a sudden, but when I hit the mister, nothing came out.

The second one is some plug that I'm not sure about. I think it might have gone to the deleted AIR pump, but I just wanted to make sure. I hate having dangling plugs.

it is your tubing that went to your washer fluid sprayers.

The plug goes into your washer fluid pump.

Thanks, that explains why nothing was coming out of the tube then. I guess I'll have to get a new tube either way.

That connector is most like for the AIR pump. You do have the MAF plugged in, right?

Yessir, I do have that plugged in. Although I am getting a code for it. I need to check it out this weekend. As the printout says:

P0100:

The PCM has determined that a malfunction exists in the electrical circuit for the mass air flow or volume air flow sensor. This code points towards a possible wiring problem, ie: short to ground, short to power, or an open circuit.

do you still have a washer fluid reservoir in the car?

Also check the MAF pigtail with a volt meter. I got my pigtail here if you need to get a new one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB..._promot_widget

Yeah, still have a fluid reservoir. I can't imagine why I would have unplugged that pump during my header install. I did remove the AIR pump, so I was thinking that it was the power plug to that. The MAF sensor is still plugged in, so I know it's not that.

I will have to check the voltage going to the MAF to see why I'm getting that code. The car is running, but it certainly doesn't feel right. It feels like the power curve is very wavy. Steady pressure on the gas pedal gets an on again off again feeling of power. I could explain, but I think that's best left to another thread if I want to get into it.
