Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

It's definitely not the trigger for the starter, as I have the starter back in and have been running with the plug disconnected for the last 6 months.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can't figure out where this connector plugs into. Any help appreciated. That's the flywheel in the background. Starter is removed.

POST 2Original post

That's not the trigger wire for the starter? I'm istalling the lower intake manyfold on my engine today, with the wiring harness, I'll see if I can figure out this for you.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That would be great, thanks! It's definitely not the trigger for the starter, as I have the starter back in and have been running with the plug disconnected for the last 6 months. The car hesitates for about 1/2 second on hard throttle in the 3k to 4k RPM range, like there's an intake leak. I'm hoping this connector has something to do with it.

POST 4Original post

I have the same wire on my '99 , 6speed, M92. When I took the engine apart it was not connected to anything and laying on top of the engine in front of the starter exactly like yours. I am all ears as to what this thing MAY connect to. I am out of plugs to connect it to. thanks
