ok.....found the problem...

the white pink wire that is shown in manuals is not white pink on mine.....its purple white from the fuse panel for back up lights......

someone used that wire to go the the electric choke.....

the white pink wire that is there I have no Idea where to put it.....traced it from the NSS even though its wrong or I use two wires....and it goes through the interior and back out to the driver side engine bay to through connectors and to some thing sittin under the EGR it sits on there like a plug that goes to a temp sensor.....

there is a few other wires disconnected there that I have no clue where to put them...

should the choke just come from the alternator?

Ya... cottonwood fluff

The electric choke wire runs to the STATOR terminal on the alt.

from the connector

One Set of wires goes to the NSS on the trans and other set run in main harness underdash.
