That doesn't go anywhere, it's a test connector for Ford's machines to measure a tachometer signal from the engine. There's something else going on

Moving the TPS shouldn't keep it from starting. It will idle horribly and stumble like crazy while driving, but it SHOULD still start. Unplug it and try to start the car without it...

Timing belt has to come off to replace the pump. Your problem lies exactly there. Take it off and time it correctly.

Yup, timing is almost for sure the problem. Have him come fix it for you and tell him he has to bring the beer to make up for the trouble! :)

The TPS is mounted on the driver side of the throttle body right in front. It's a black box held on by two adjustment screws. It has a round plug with I think, 4 wires going into it. Here's a pic...

You guys are awesome.. I unpluged it and had CEL light turn on. Turned it off. Then started it with tps unplugged and press gas pedal to start. Fired right up with no issues and no mis at idle or when driving between first and 2nd.. good luck to moot, hope everything works out for u bro
