2000 Montero Sport Stall Issue

Hello! I've been dealing with an issue where the truck doesn't want to idle and stalls out. It only stays alive if I'm actively on the gas. I noticed that this green wire is broken. Anyone know what this connector is for? It's part of the 3 connectors that are bolted to ground on top of the intake manifold. Could this be my stall issue? I also checked the battery, MAF, TPS, and recently replaced the idle air control valve. Thanks

ECS Tuning RWD Coilovers Review

For a first cheapish coilover setup, I am mostly satisfied with them. After some retuning, I have set them at 1/4in preload and 8 clicks back from the hardest setting (32 levels I believe). Photos of coilovers were taken before the 1/4in preload finalization. There's enough camber adjustment to where my alignment guy can get it done. They ride well; Stiff enough to handle better and soft enough to not blow my back out and have the whole car fall apart. Wheels don't rub and only scrape my aluminum jack pads over speed bumps if I'm not going slow enough. Been on for about 6 months and still feels fresh. Girlfriend also approves of ride quality.

Con: wish the fronts can be adjusted lower. Referring to the 3rd pic, that's the lowest I can go before messing with the preload even further. Shock is already fully threaded in. I can try 1/8in preload but I'm not sure if that's gonna make a difference and there's only so much more I can soften before the spring is just straight up loose in the shock. You can DUMP the rear and have the wheels tuck (last photo). Just not too happy with where the fronts are sitting at.

Got these last yr for sale under $750. Checked the price recently and they're now, without the sale, around the same as BCs. Unless you're getting these ECS units on sale, I think it's better to spend a little more on other brands that'll give you more adjustability.

I'm a beginner at this so if there's anything I'm fucking up on, feel free to let me know. Thanks
