Default What is this?

When I was putting on my cross-over, I had to take off my oxygen sensor and found this wire at the main relay panel, not plugged into anything. I find nothing NOT working, so I assume it is the plug that gives me another 100 HP. My problem is that I don't know where to plug it. Be nice.

Can anyone identify this plug?

Thanks
Rod

Not sure what it is, however; I have one that's not plugged in either.

I guess no 100 HP extra, right?

Don't know..since mine doesn't have this connector (mines an 86.5)...but I'm guessing this is the LH "diagnostics check" connector ???? Probably nothing to connect it to, except the code reader tool. Just Guessing though, as my car does not have "self-diagnosis" ...But I see your car is an 87 model...So therefore it does have it, hence my conclusion that this is the connector to the diagnostics reader tool. Hope I'm right on this guess.

Rod-

That there is the 928 fetzer valve. Now if you want to get it working correctly, you're gonna need some 80 wt. ball bearings, some gauze pads, and some antifreeze - preferably Prestone... No make that Quaker State. LOL!

No clue.

No clue.

Can't be the fetzer valve, even I know that because I have both the floating dipstick AND the high speed lug nut options. Must be something else, but thanks anyway.

Just be sure your Conooter valve stays attached to the muffler bearings and you'll be fine.

It's the connector for the intensive power blinker fluid pump.

When buttoning up Dennis W' stroker before startup Louie, Dennis and I spent much time looking for it's mate, never found it.
I think Louie figured out what it was for but I can't remember. Maybe something the Euro cars use.

I think this has actually been covered before and Wally or DR gave the answer.
