I absolutely have to get this truck going great condition but new harness does not fit for a couple plugs like fuel pump and it looks like throttle body and grounds maybe but I want to bypass as much as possible to get the truck to crank I need help
 
Why did you replace the harness? Ever consider looking at the old plug on the old pump harness, and the new wires on the new pump harness? If they are the same colors, it may be safe just to splice in the new harness into the old pump plug.

We need the year of the truck (old harness) with the engine and transmission info and the year of the new harness with it's engine and transmission info, to help you figure things out and see if there are component compatibility issues.
 
Ok so here's the kick in the sack!!!

This Ford ranger 2.0 5speed ranger XL short bed has a engine bay harness that is specially made for the exact year and motor size they don't make anything else that fits it supposedly
Any way a lot of stuff plugs in but if I could start by getting a list that seperats the plugs that must be connected to the ECU and hardware and the plugs that I can run to a toggle and or a relay
 
What happened, did it catch fire? Are you trying to run this truck without the EFI?
 
Yes it did catch fire. No I have a new efi and distributor
