Picture #3, this is used for the KOEO/KOER test to check for codes. They don't go anywhere. They are there when needed.

2 looks like some kind of temp sensor and 4 looks like a fuse blew and they jumped power from another socket?

Pic number 2 is your act (air charge temp) sensor. It screws into the lower intake around the 1st and 2nd runner.

Does this one look like it needs to be replaced? how does it effect the car not being plugged in?

Brown wire is for tail lights and the black is for ground. Fuel pressure regulator...hook up fuel pressure gauge, remove red hose pressure should go 35 to 40 psi.
