Default Unplugged connectors in engine bay?

Hi All,
I was poking around the engine on my '95, and had the blower assembly off the car. I noticed two cables with connectors near the left-side fuel rail that are unplugged. I don't see where these would go. The car's running perfectly. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Colin

fuel injectors maybe? Are the connectors male or female?

Can you see where the other end comes from?

Mine has the same unused wire connectors. I assume the factory made one standard wire loom and simply tucked away the unused connectors for optional equipment. If the car is running fine, I would not worry.

Just as Leland says. My 95 car has the same unused connectors. In fact, they showed up after the loom recall replacement. I figured they are part of a universal 993 engine loom, and used for Varioram?
