Default 2wd Saph engine loom help!

Afternoon,
I have bought a second hand engine loom for my 2wd saph and there are a few wires which im not sure go to where.

Firstly there a three wires which have spade connectors on them (not sure if they a suppose to be on there or not. The wire colours are black with red stripe, brown with yellow stripe and brown with white stripe.



Secondly there are two wires which have nothing on the end near the phase sensor, the two wires are green with brown stripe and brown with yellow stripe.



And lastly any ideas what this brown with green stripe wire is on the car loom, its close to the nearside headlight and runs along with the black with blue stripe wire which I believe goes to the starter motor.



Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Gary

get your multimeter out

photo 1 :
black/red - may be amal valve - if so, goes to fuel pump relay terminal 87
brown/yellow - may be amal valve - if so, goes to ECU terminal 16
brown/white - water temp sender - if so, should go to 9-way connector behind glove box

photo 2 :
see if those 2 wires go to ECU terminals 3 & 4 (crank sensor). If so, these wires aren't standard, and should be replaced by a 2-way shielded cable.

photo 3 :
brown/green - oil pressure switch near starter motor - if so, should go to 9-way connector behind glove box

The first two said look like Amal valve wires to me as well, should have a plug but someone has put spades instead.

Not quite. Thinking about it, I think the oil pressure sender should be in the car loom , not the engine loom, so it won't go via the 9-way connector.

Thanks for the replies, think i nearly have it all sorted, although i only seem to have one cable fo the coil (green) where should the other wire come from that goes to the coil and do you know what colour it is.
thanks once again for all your help.

The oil pressure wire to the gauges is indeed in the main car loom not the engine loom, on 2wd this is brown/red, 4wd it is brown/green.
