ok, just a note, if you are running the engine to fully warmed up; The G/Y wire powers up the O2 sensor heater circuit. So without the G/Y you might run rich at idle. You can hook it up to the other Yellow wire if you are working on the engine.
Not a big deal.
The EECM ignores the O2 sensor at cold start-up until the ECT- Engine Coolant Temperature sensor tells the EECM that the engine is warmed up (first 2 minutes or so).

Welp... she fired right up. Then she started smellin real bad, rich like you said. THEN the Anti-Lock light came up! Now it won’t go away. And when I throttle it there’s a wee shriek. Ah I’ll sleep on it and try to figure it out tomorra. Thanks for your help this late evening sir! Mucho appreciated!

The Black/Light Green wire is tied to the Anti-Lock circuit, hook that to one of the Yellows and it should work.

Not knowing what you are trying to accomplish;

With the exception of the Red/Light Blue, you can connect all the wires together if you want everything to work. Spread the load between the 2 Yellows;

Red/Light Blue – use only to energize the starter solenoid.

No need to connect this one for now;
Brown/Pink - same as R/LG in Start Position

FYI;
Yellows – 12 volts from Fusible Link

Red/Light Blue - Starter Solenoid - momentary contact
Red/Light Green - Power to Coil/TFI/EEC Relay


Black/Light Green – Wipers/Windows, Brake Anti-Lock etc.
Gray/White – A/C - Heater, etc.
Purple/White - Instrument Cluster

No need to connect this one for now;
Brown/Pink - same as R/LG in Start Position (not Brown/Pink)

Hey again. Now the fuel pump won’t pressurize, can’t hear it do its thing. Truck won’t start. Hotwiring it won’t do the job. Know where I can buy a new harness as shown in the first post? All these are too short, cut and I need the wedge

The fuel pump only runs for 1-2 seconds when you power up those wires, then they get powered again when it starts.

Are you familiar with the OBD1 test Connector?

hook up those first 2 wires from the other day.
"You could just strip one of the Yellow wires a little more and the Red/Light Green so you can twist those 2 together."

Then jump #2 & #6 on the Test Connector, and listen for the fuel pump.......

You may need to verify that you still have 12vdc on the yellow wires......
