I have a set of bent nose needle nose pliers about 8" long that I fing very useful for getting the connector on and off of the glow plug under the turbo.

Between the fuel line, return line and the turbo there just is not enough room for my fingers to manipulate the connector.

Ok, looked for my missing GP wire and I think I found it. It was plugged into the end of this hose. What is this hose for? This wire runs out of the GPR harness so I know I found it. Going to hook it up and try to see if she'll fire up.

That hose is there to hide your gp wire from you.lol.
Not sure but it may be a vacumn hose does your heater vent selector work or only blow out of defrost.

Well that was it, plugged into that hose. I hooked it up. Had a buddy turn the key on I checked the Voltage at the GPR and at a GP. Had 10V. No more clicking from the GPR either. Went to start it, she fired up without a problem!!

Thanks everyone for the help! Now off to fix other issues.

Ill have to check on the heater vent, I haven't drove it much yet, just got it. But it is one of the few things I need to fix.

Is that the low vacuum sensor on a 94 model?

That is about the only thing I can think of, but mine looks a lot different and is located on the passenger side inner fender.

Same number of wires in the connector though.

It is a 94, But this is just left of the turbo. Its on the pass side too. Not the fender well though. What is yours connected too?

My low vacuum sensor is round, has one electrical connection with three wires and one vacuum hose running to it.

About the size of a small tuna can standing on it's side.
