Right ive got 2 spare plugs and ive no idea what they're for, the first one is on the same part of the loom as the plug for the MAP sensor and the Throttle Position Sensor. Has 2 wires, one is yellow with a black stripe and the other is blue with a yellow stripe

The second plug comes from over beside the battery, remember my battery is on the other side :P It again has 2 wires, one is black with a yellow stripe and the other is pink/ faded red with a green stripe

Image

The only place that these could go is on the back on the inlet manifold - i cant find any other plugs that arent plugged in... Sorry for the rubbish picture but i dont even know what this things called :P

The black one pointing downwards, if you can make it out

Anyone got any ideas? :(

The first plug connects to the sensor in the third pic to your IACV.
Not too sure about the other

Well the "black thing hanging down" is your IAC. Idle Air Control Valve. You will need this plugged in to run correctly.

Ahh right thanks, i wasnt sure what it was haha :P

Turned out the reason the plug wouldnt go in was that there was the remains of another plug in the IACV, its now plugged in though!!

My friend reckons the other one is for a 2nd o2 sensor in the cat, but my car only has 1 o2 sensor so it can gtf :lol:

Thanks for clearing that up :thumb:
