Can anyone tell me where this wire I believe is the CHT sensor wire coming from head near cylinder #3 should be connected to? It’s apparently cut and not sure where it goes. Thanks!

the rest of that wire should lead back to the computer. All of the wires to the FI system are white.How is the car running? There is a hole in the engine tin above #3, you see I can't tell which end of the cut you are holding. Back to the computer or to the CHT.Excuse me, I forgot where I am at. This would get much more attention in The Garage. Jeff doesn't come here very often.

Thanks Joe! It's the wire coming from hole in the engine tin.
After months of troubleshooting and cleaning things up, it finally started up and started to idle for a short time(very rough, because I believe the spark plug wires were reversed on 1 & 3). It smokes a bit out of tailpipe and smells rich and varnishy as it sat for a few years. Some leaking apparent from fuel line, but not at injectors.
The other day it idled for 3-5 minutes and I tried to give it some gas and then it died and wouldn't restart. I restarted it yesterday and fired up quickly to low idle and then after a minute shut off. I pulled the plugs to see it they were wet, but they were mostly black and dry.
I'll see where a wire is 'cut' or missing on the ECU and try firing it up again. Seems like its flooding out or something.
