The one with the two prongs is the temperature sensor for the block. I don't know about the other one.

the single prong is the oil pressure i believe.. not 100%, but if you were to turbo your engine you would unhook that single prong one and set up your oil feed through it then re install it.. so i just always assumed it was oil pressure lol

where do you think the exhaust comes from? inside your engine. you can have an exhaust leak at the manifold right off the engine.

sounds like you may have the firing order messed up..


FIRING ORDER = 1-3-4-2

---
looking at the engine from the front, it goes 4-3-2-1 (left to right) maybe someone will post up a pic

2 nipple plug is fan switch (if u leave it unplgged, your fan wont turn on), single nipple is oil psi switch as japjunkie stated (its for the warning light on your gauge cluster).

The engine starts up okay but is it suppose to have a " PUFFING " noise from the engine/headers? at the same time the engine shakes also when it's puffing.
