Near where the maf plugs in there is a 2 pin plug, what is this for? Does it plug somewhere on the airbox and because I'm not using 1 (abs!) What do I do with it?

It is a spare terminal, can't recall what for, think it gets used if your car has a cat

Fuel tank vent valve. Leave it loose or cut the wires back making sure you remove the live right up to the common joint up near the bulkhead
