Default Name that connector...

I have two stock connectors which are disconnected, and I have no idea what they go to or where their other half is.

The first connector is in the rear of the engine bay, and the wire runs right next to the bellhousing grounds. I believe it is the white wire you can see in the picture at the end of this thread:

The connector was just laying across the bellhousing, rattling around on the passenger's side. It looks a bit cooked as well.

The last picture is a black connector and a non-stock white molex connector above the DME. The car has an aftermarket CD player, so I'm hoping that these are somehow related to that, but I'm not too keen on having random connectors floating around my car, which may or may not go somewhere important.

Thanks, Ian

First one is the connector for the Top Dead Center sensor, used by one diagnostic tool that was around for one year or so.

Second ones im not sure, but I can check my car.

So the TDC connector is not important? I can just bolt it whereever and not connect it to anything?

Thanks for checking on the connectors above the DME.

Actually you can follow it over and remove it all together, but it will be a bit of a bitch to get to.

The plug above the DME, if one end of it is triangular, well not sure on the 88, on my 87 that looks like the reset plug you jumper for the air bag light.
