Thread: Have a feeling this is sposed to be plugged in someplace. Help Please!

So I was poking around in my engine bay last night and I came across this plug that wasnt connected. I have a feeling it is sposed to go somewhere but i couldnt seem to find where. Anyone know where its sposed to go to?!

Alright thank you. Thought maybe this was why my car was running a little bit different but I guess not. lol.

Have you considered cleaning that oily mess?

I had the same plug on my old GT.I believe it is for an L67 MAP sensor.GM decided to let it be in some GTs but it helps if you plan to top swap, its just plug and play considering you buy the MAP extension harness.

Map sensors are three wire. That's no map sensor. May have been the plug in for the Cali emissions soleniod.

I was actually attempting to degrease my engine bay so it was a bit wet when I had taken the pic. lol

Hmm its possible, but I know when i had an L67 MAP sensor the plug in my car plugged right into it perfectly.

The L36/L26 and L32 map sensor connector is all the same. A three wire with a purple seal (IIRC) around it for weather proofing. That connector he has is a two wire.

that might be the evap solenoid but i think bill is right and went to one of the emission things that earlier models had

Annnnnt sorry Ride.. he's not a 97 like you are. Therefore he doesn't have a evap purge switch, only a single valve, which in his year is likely mounted on the front of the motor with a red two wire connector.

You can tell some about his year by the engine cover bracket in the pic. He's newer. Likely an 02.

Bill you know way too much lol. But I knew that already

Work on a lot of the same basic car. It also helps that I pulled a motor last night on a car with Cali emissions and the plug looks identical. My Bonne was a 97, that I 99 harnessed laster and found all the differences. Only years with the two evap pieces was 96 and 97 ... 96 the GP didn't get a 3800

Is there a difference between the 02 and 00?

I've seen more 02'a with the cali emissions than other years..but sure that plug could be on any of them.
