It has a slight amount of violet in the shade.
Looks to me like Ford(Mazda) Royal sapphire metallic, from the late 80's/ early 90's. I painted my 280Z this color in 1990.
Here's an example:
Of course, The MkIV Supra, as well as a number of other manufacturers have similar colors; Porsche...
So, are you leaking into cylinders 1,2,5 and 6?
I'd have the cylinder head checked for straightness while it's off. Seems like there could be a chance that the head is bananna-shaped.
The vsv is under the lower intake manifold, You'll prolly need a mirror to see where it is.
Plug it in.
As for the other- it may be the abs sensor on the transmission, as mentioned. You'll find the other end near the top driver's side of the bellhousing.
Adjust the tps as per the tsrm, but I don't think its the problem.
If you have an O2 sensor fault code, you'll be running too rich and have very little power. Use a multimeter to check continuity between the signal wires at the elbow, and the pin that goes into the ecu.
You might have a break in...
The reason #5 and 6 exhaust ports are sooty is because your exhaust manifold was leaking there.
Most likely, the rear studs are undertorqued due to softening of the aluminum around those studs.
The rear cylinders being wet like that would cause a visible smoke to come from the exhaust.

And like Hvyman said- the vendors section here has got many other vendors, some who carry lots of custom parts.
LOL.
"frivolous" hood struts.
My car currently looks like ass, but both the hood and the hatch have minty fresh struts. Didn't find it all that expensive.
Got tired of getting hit in the head by both. The rear is a slight pain to replace, but the fronts literally take 3-5 minutes.
There is no "kit" to make 500 hp.
There are some good recipies, though.
You need to use the search button at the top right and search questions like
"best gasket kit", "good pistons", or "what parts to use", or "What rods", etc...
I will tell you that you can expect to need the following...
I believe that disconnecting the O2 signal will cause the engine to go to an over-rich mode and store a code,
but I guess that could then allow you to tune it back to a leaner setting...?
