2wd on the throttle bracket and 4wd on the back of the plenum ,two on the same connection .
Check if you had the wiring loom disconnected that you have the plugs on the right sensors as they can be switched easily enough

the phase sensor wiring looks rough as f:@k also would this stop it from starting up and getting a very weak pulse? also when i first crank it over it will pulse bright then immediatley dim to the point where its barely visible.

Are all four lugs intact on the crank pulley, do you have fuel to those cylinders?

The injectors have a permanent supply, re your question, so this is correct.
