A few question on my 85 4runner

I just saved this thing from a trailer park in coastal NC and brought it home this weekend and have been going through it. I have a few questions and pics below.

Is this the stock front leaf spring bracket?

Does this ecu look fried? I tested at like 162v with the ignition switched in the on position and the tester leads connecting the B+ and E1 with the harness connected.

The engine isn't getting fuel and I tested from the fuel pump to the circuit opening relay (COR) and they test good when jumped from a battery. The CEL isn't coming on and the COR isn't clicking with the diagnostic fuel jumper installed and the ignition turned on per the FSM.

In the last pic I am missing the black cap from that sensor. What is the name of the sensor and is it an issue that I am missing that cap?

I plan on getting her running, replace the springs/shocks/tires then tackle the rust.

i wouldn't worry about the missing black cap at this point, you have much bigger problems.

the ecu doesn't show any burned areas, nor any blown-out areas on the chips, right? put your nose against it, and see if anything smells burnt.

follow this guide to attempt fixing the fuel circuit, and to see if it's throwing any codes: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...CheckConnector

i don't know about the spring mounting, my rig is heavily altered.

Looks like its the stock spring hanger, but if not why does it matter?

That cap is a filter to help keep dirt out of the vac. switching valve but is not necessary to the operation.
