The red plug is the air bag jack plug, should be mounted on a metal plate in the footwell. Leave that well alone.

The bunch of wiring in the second pic looks like some sort of aftermarket wiring for an alarm or aircon setup.

The plug in the first picture I'm not sure of, where is it located?

They all do the same thing, infact you can even make your own if you want. Just be aware that these cars use the old style blink codes, not a digital readout like modern cars.

What problems are you having at the moment?

Would it make a difference if ovp and mas are different part numbers?

Change the battery first, then disconnect the wiring to the fuel pumps. Now test each pump separately by giving it a live and earth feed. If both pumps are good, re-connect the wiring but run a live wire direct from the battery to the live pump wire.

This will make the pumps run continuously and bypass all the cars relays and wiring. Hopefully it will start like that.
