Default 2 random plugs in engine bay

So I know I have a Comanche, but I can never get any help on comanche forums, so I'm gonna ask here. I've got an 87 comanche base model 4x4 5 speed, that i picked up with 29k on the clock. Looking in the engine bay there are 2 random connectors not hooked up to anything. One is over by the washer fluid bottle and the other is right near the vacuum tubes and throttle body. Anyone know what these are for? Thanks in adavance.

It's my fathers but I daily it, and i love it. Driving down the road and pass this for sale, my moms like "THeres an old truck for sale!" and I'm like "UH NO MOM. Thats a comanche pull over now." Later that day we went and talked to the guy and bought it. Originally from upstate NY, where I live but it was in florida most its life with barely any rust, and has sat since 2010, up here in NY. Absolutely love it. Do you by chance know what these plugs could possibly be from? heres a pic of it btw

Im pretty sure the first plug is a low washer fluid float plug.

Looks like both go to the washer system. This is 2.5l

I have some from ebay I need to clean out first! Then I will swap them in, gotta figure out my cooling issue first and wire up an e-fan. I just changed oil and looks like its running a lot cooler, i have a new thermostat and am getting a new housing, then burping the system and i should be good to go

It's a manual transmission truck and the 4 prong connector up front is for the automatic equipped truck's extra TPS connector.

The rear one is NOT the low washer connector.

I purchased a set off ebay, then realized that CF member Programbo sold sets of refurbished, cleaned and tested injectors for a very reasonable price, so I used his instead. They are superb and I have a spare set. I need to look into getting the ebay set cleaned.

I first got a set out of a jy, and found they weren't the right ones, then surfed ebay and got them for $30. My father has a full setup for cleaning injectors so I'm goof to go hopefully

Excellent. I didn't have a resource for cleaning and testing injectors.

And you can probably find the tiny filters and o-rings online.
