hi ive recently done a 16v conversion in my xsi, i have put the new engine loom in and have some plugs left over and wa wondering if you peeps could help me identify them

the engine is a 98 gti and the loom is a 98 vts. all the plugs are on the gearbox side of the engine, left side of the battery which ever way you look at it.

these 3 are all together, i think the white plug here connects to the bottom of the throttle body?

this one i think is the lamdba sensor?

havent a clue what this is, only 1 wire coming from it (pinkish)

and again with this 1, it joins the main loom from the starter motor area

everything is connected apart from the bottom of the throttle body

the 2nd one down looks like either the lambda sensor or the connector to the fan

yeh thats right its got the slide clip

ive been told the blue 2 pin with 1 wire is the oil temp on the sump, i cant find the plug for it though

the light blue 4 pin is the stepper motor - which i think i dont have

the white one is the air temp (bottom of TB)

and the black with purple is the knock sensor - which i dont think i have

i didnt remove this many plugs on my old loom

as i dont have this tps at the back it means that the ecu cant tell when i hit the throttle and wont advance anything right?
