89 s4 front and rear, crossed drilled and slotted stop tech rotors front and rear, I purchased some other calipers for the front but they weren't as described when they arrived so they went to another customers car. EBay SELLER was an idiot.

This quote above suggests your TPS and short harness are known-good, but its also mentioned that you found a replacement TPS at low cost, and then replaced the failing short harness in the quote below.
If so, I think you will be pleased with the results.

Also, no knock sensors to replace on yours -- regardless of not being in the valley. Used S4 and up only.

Pic looks nice and clean!
thanks for the reply, Listen I was told about this site through a friend and that there is a lot of knowledge here, so the times I have posted yes at times it's helpful, BUT a lot if the time it's guys bashing you or just way off topic, so I join thinking maybe that will be better nope,now as far as the troll comment that goes across the board not direct at just one person,Honestly if you can't help on the subject why comment, because they have nothing better to do, it's almost like you have to be prepared to deal with all these egos when all you wanted was some help. Nothing against Docmerlin, never met the guy, you know what out of all the post. Only one was helpful the post about the hoses going to the oil filler,everyone else pretty much stated fix all, that's never the answer. Cheers

It could also be that many of us here have done this job anywhere from once to hundreds of times so we are giving you the best advice possible. Do it all correct the first time, not piecemeal, but it's your car.

What Oriellys did you find the TPS harness? I'd like to stock up on them.
Did they also have that NLA hose that goes from the oil filler to the cam cover?

BTW, that K&N air filter isn't going to do you any favors.
