New engine installed, one connector left???? #1091716 10/31/04 01:24 AM

Everything went relatively smooth, except I have one connector left with no where to connect it to. It is near the firewall, right between the coil pack and the firewall. It is a green connector, with a yellow piece inside of it. It has a black and white wire, and a yellow and brown wire. Does anyone have any idea where this is supposed to go? Any insight would be greatly appreciated...... I've been searching high and low, and have everything connected except for this piece. If I don't find out where it goes, I guess I'll just fire it up tomorrow and see how she runs. Thanks in advance!

I saw no green connector, the nearest looks like is a black one with a yellow piece. Two wires yellow/green, black/yellow or white. But it's the IAC one, so you probably connected it, pretty easy to see it. Nic. Contour 99 MTX V6 fully loaded, stock with 110000km. Illuminated sunroof switch.
