What colour is this wire ?  Someone might know what it's for.

So you installed a used harness.

Bentley may have a table showing where and what to measure for continuity
to/from ECT etc. to each connector.

Hopefully I'm not wasting your time focusing on the harness. e.g. it sure
sounds like a vacuum leak of some kind or fuel starvation.
