Re: More engine compartment and "what is this"?

As for the red circle in the last photo:
I know that connecter looks just like the connector for the mixture control solenoid, on the computer controlled carburetors but, on a 1986 full size pickup they had a solenoid control dual capacity accelerator pump and that is what that connector is for. Notice there is no connector on the front of the carb for the TPS for a computer controlled carb. Also notice no idle air bleed screw or place for it.

I agree with Slonaker no sensor Map on 86 full size pickup. Also right about it having a
dual capacity accelerator pump and the temp switch for it.

piecesparts & Mickey_D, Yes - Applause for you both

First picture gray circle, I agree with Srubydo1986 , is the temp sender for the dash.
