Let me first state - Yes I will be picking up a haynes manual today..

But the messageboards have been very helpful in the past, so I figured I'd post my troubles... Questions after pics.
Pic#1 - What is this wire and should this be cut as it is?
Pic#2 - Pic of front spring... Why are those 2 seperators in the spring?
Pic#3 - Shouldnt this be plugged? or does something go there?
Pic#4 - What is this called? It needs to be replaced.
Pic#5 - This was a hose that I found just sitting on top of the engine. Any guesses to where or what this is too?
Thanks for any help in my large learning curve.
