Hi everyone
I'm in the middle of a cooling system overhaul and have the manifold off the car to reach the water pipe. I have one wiring connector that I don't know where it goes after removing the intake manifold. It's a 2 wire connector with an orange and white wire, it's attached to the harness right with the intake vanos solenoid plug and the map sensor plug in the manifold. 2011 MCS. The manifold has the throttle body plugged in, the 2 solenoids are back on and plugged in
Fuel Injector
Vanos Solenoid
Fuel Tank Vent Valve
Turbo Blow Off Valve
FWIW check the two vacuum hoses are well attached to the vacuum accumulator (reservoir) that black metal can before you re-assemble. Mine are reasonably easy to pull off and they are needed to activate the turbo blow off valve.
and it is plugged in above the intake manifold towards the firewall. The purge solenoid wire is orange and white and connects underneath the intake manifold.
I like to use my paint pen collection to mark each connection a different color so when reassembling it isn’t as challenging recalling what my whiskey brain thought it could recall. 🙄
