    ETA guys look here

    We are in the final stage of rebuilding my friend's little project eta and I've run into a slight snag. There is one wire we cannot find the connection to. It's a blue, two prong/plug female connector which we cannot find the male end to. The wire comes out of the wiring harness right beside the cylinder head and is zip tied to the firewall with almost no slack. The lack of possible places for a plug to be in the vacinity is what really pisses me off.

    Could somebody please check under their hood and see where the wire that this plugs into is running? It could be that I just got home from working on it at 2:30am, and am just blinded by tiredness. Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.

      Yes can you photograph it? I have a LOT of things that arent plugged in on my car, maybe its one of those things that just hangs because of a common wiring harness.

      The only blue thing i can remember is the ICV connection.
      Im now E30less.

          The plug looks identical to the plug that goes into the ICV. I'm thinking that on monday when he gets back we're going to go ahead and get the cooling system hooked up and try to turn it over.

          Can't get any pics until then. Guess I should have thought of that last night.

            Is it the wire coming out of the engine wire harness or the body wire harness?
