This started as a job to fix 2 problems with My 2001 LS 430, that I put off. Way Too Long! As I got into things, I found several more issues that I felt I should address! After Taking both sides and the front of the engine apart, I got everything done that I could (I couldn’t get the Cam Seals as I ran out of money)! So, what started out as a day project has turned into a 3 week project and I’ve been without My car all that time! I Need it, I’ve had to cancel 2 Doctors Appointments, which I really NEEDED to go as I’ve had 2 major surgeries in the past 6 weeks! I now have everything pretty much put back together but, have these 4 issues, which NEED to be addressed and Hopefully, Fingers Crossed, I Did Everything Right and I’ll have My car back! The Attached are the issues I have! Any Help I Can Get Would be Deeply Appreciated!

I have this part left! I Don’t know what it is or where it goes, can anyone Please tell me what it is and exactly where it goes?

I Believe this is the side Signal Connector. I Can’t seem to find the Male End of the Connector! I Checked the Entire Right Side (Passenger) Wiring Harness and Didn’t Find Any Connectors available with Yellow and White Wires! Can Someone PLEASE Tell Me, Where I Can Find It?

This is Some Kind of Power Cable that Runs Into the Engine Compartment Through the Passenger Side Fire Wall! Does Anyone Know where I’, Supposed to Connect It!

Yes, Another Connector! This One is the Cam Position Sensor as it Comes from the Left Side Cam Cover. Once Again, I’m Unable to find the Other Connector to go with it! Does Anyone Know Where I May Find It? Once Again, I Went Through the Right Side Wiring Harness and Again, Couldn’t Find the Other Connector to Go With It! Can Anyone Tell Me, Where I May Find the Connector to Go With It?

What are the 2 problems you were trying to fix?
What did you accomplish and/or replace?

Pic 1- Timing belt tensioner. Don't under any circumstances rotate the engine or start the car until it's where it belongs. There could be more to this depending on the position of your timing belt...
Pic 2- ??? Not sure but a pic with a broader perspective might help.
Pic 3- That appears to be the ground strap which mounts to the alternator.
Pic 4- If that is the cam position sensor there's a hole in the timing gear cover with a rubber grommet. Remove the timing gear cover and the grommet, fish the connector through the hole in order to connect to it's mate under the cover. Once the 2 are connected replace the timing cover.

That's where the tensioner goes.

The ground strap usually goes from the engine to the body.
the connector on the front of the engine is in the same wiring harness with the alternator and AC connectors.
