I am a bit confused however as I could take the filter off an have an open air box an it would still run. I understand the concern on anything above the metering plate however an I believe the peanut is sealed and in good shape. I fixed the 2 hoses around behind the peanut today so we will see, once the coil gets here and I can check for go spark.

Willie,
Get some technical reference booklets and manuals about CIS and start reading. Read and visualize how the system works. It might be intimidating at first, but nothing you or me or any typical DIYer could not understand or learn. The air filter is outside the metering unit. You can remove it and no adverse effect on the running motor. Only air passing through the sensor plate is considered metered air. What you think is not critical. It is what you have is important. You are not the first one that claimed his airbox was good and intact. Only a test will tell you if you have a good or bad air box. Your investigation should be based of FACTS and not on FAITH.
Answer these questions for me and you have solved your problem/s:
1). Do you know what is your CCP, WCP, SP, and residual fuel pressures?
2). Do you have good ignition signal?
3). Do you have significant sources of air leaks in the system?
4). Why is the motor not starting or running?
To get the answers to these basic questions, you need to do some testing, measurement, investigation, etc. However, if you gave answers using adjectives like it's OK, good, maybe, probably, etc. we are in deep trouble. Your starting problem is nothing new that we have not discussed in this forum a hundred times before. Using the experience we had is a valuable tool we all share in finding and identifying the culprit/s. The culprit is right in front of our noses but obscured or hidden because of our failure to analyze and visualize it. It is right there and waiting to be identified. Keep us posted.
