Some connectors are not in place dont know where to connect them!







it seems you are missing a egr pressure sensor that is mounted right below the idle air control valve, I can see the mounting holes, the one on the left has a bolt, the hole on the right is empty.

The DPFE? I believe is what you are talking about. If it really concerns you go to the parts store and ask for the "Differential pressure Feedback EGR sensor." Its got 2 vac lines on it and that connector. Basically a digital manometer if that makes sense and reports it back to the ECM how much the EGR is pulling back.

If you have no CEL then don't worry about it!! They are common to fail and will in no way help performance...
 






I beg to differ: an inoperative EGR system will affect performance, because the engine management system is designed to use it. Primarily, with EGR flow combustion is cooler, which allows more spark advance without knocking.
Unless somebody altered ('tuned') the ECM code, there is no way there will be no CEL when the DPFE is missing. In any case, even if the OP lives in an area where emissions testing in not required, it's not exactly a great idea to spit more NOx into the atmosphere...
And by the way, a DPFE of that vintage is an analog, not a digital sensor; it produces a variable voltage, not a digital code. Sorry for the nitpicking...
