Will someone who know this car please shed some light? like look at the pictures and tell me whats off?
thanks in advance for your help
also, the car wont idle on its on, i have to give gas or it will stall. plus when i do that the whole car shakes and smoke comes out of exhaust, the injecters pour fuel out of them and not mist.
had a mechanic change the spark plugs as the car wouldnt even run till i did
following links are pictures.

In picture one you are showing the spot the hose runs from the cleaner to the missing smog pum. Don't worry about it you don't need it. The valve you see in that picture is the diverter valve for the smog pump...youdon't need that either.

This picture tells me you distributor was out and is in cockeyed. To be in right the wires plugging into the one side up high should be at the 3 o'clock position if you are looking at it straight on,

This picture shows me the EGR solenoid is there and plugged into the passenger side TBI but I don't see the hose going from it to the EGR valve. Possible vaccum leak here. Disconnect the solenoid (don't loose it can't find them anywhere) Plug the port on the TBI. make sure the EGR is not leaking...source of vaccum leak into mainfold.

The one that was unplugged is to activate the EGR solenoid. The EGR solenoid is broken and missing the hose that goes to the EGR. Unplu it again and cap the port on the TBI.

So i started the engine and she was running good with a lil help of the gas pedal, than it just shut off... Took off air cleaner assembly and than tried to restart... No fuel thru injectors... So i checked fuses again, and as i got to he top fuse which happens to be the fuel pump fuse... It was really loose as if i didnt push it in all the way... So i replaced fuse and still no fuel...
So my question is, would a fuse just loosely put in and not all the way screw up the fuel pump? And is there a fuel pump relAy that i can check before changing the fuel pump?
And also, why would the egr valve to tbi be unplugged and capped at the tb?
Thanks again, and appreciate anyones advice

Because when i had a check engine light on i couldnt retrieve any error codes by using a jump wire In the ALDL. (ground to diagnostics) a & b

I was told its easier to do the pump through the filler cap instead of dropping the tank..
