Default HELP! I need some pictures...

I need close up pictures of the intake manifold (on the car) and all the connections that go around it. Real good close ups if you can. I think I mixed up a few connections and I can't find where the bracket for the throttle linkage connects to.

You talking the little black pieces that slide on the Bracket right behind the Throttle Body, or how the Cables go on the TB..

Well here are some things I need help with:



This is the throttle cable brace I was referring too, where does it go and how does it go on where it goes? I have an idea that its suppossed to go on the manifold, but which way?



After talking off the throttle body and playing with the throttle cable while i was removing and reinstalling the intake, i wasnt sure if i goofed up any settings, does this look right? (i guess this would be idle?)



and where the hell does this little guy go?

TB blades should be closed completely. I think that bracket is for the EGR solenoid... and the vacuum elbow could be for the fuel pressure regulator. Here's some more pics. BTW, I don't have any kind of brace for my throttle cable.





edit: the flash makes my engine look filthy. Blah.

Throttle blades should be fully closed, the iac valve controls the idle. You must have the cable in a bind or something take another pic showing the whole throttlebody if you havent' figured it out yet.

UPDATE:

I found the throttle cable holder, I think it went on the same bolt as the EGR (back of the intake manifold, drivers side). I fixed my throttle cable so the blades closed.

Fired it up, everything runs great.

I just have one last question:



What's this? Does it have something that connects to it?
