the one with the five holes is a diagnostic port.it gives error codes in the form of flashing led on a unit that plugs in to it

the other is an ignition timming adjustment, by bridging the brown wire with one or both of the black wires retards the ignition by set amounts.

someone could have done this to stop pinking with crap fuel
