I think it goes down the side of the engine....

I think that goes to the purge solenoid.

hmmmm,

what is the purge soleniod?

can't find it in the book.

What are the wire colors? Better chance of telling you what it is.

Im betting on pink with a black stripe, and green with yellow stripe. It's the canister purge. I'm pretty sure it's the only red connector on the whole car, except maybe at the ECM sometimes...

i have that on mine. id doesnt go to anything. i believe it is part of some test lead. but almost all of the 3.4 have it and its not hooked up. i saw once that it pluged into something on the power steering, but on my 3.4 i dont have that sensor

I have the same plug just chillin under the hood. don't know where it goes and I can not find any place it would go

I was thinking (hoping) that it is the low oil sensor plug.
wires are brown and white.

my oil lamp stays on during startup........

where the hell is that sensor, must be on the pan?,

maybe a pressure sensore plug on the block?

[Rosez34]

i looked everywhere and there is no place it can reach that makes sence

[Rosez34]

talked to my friends dad who is a tech and he said it is for cali emissions

mystery solved

this plug is used on pontiacs for the power steering pump. I guess it is a low oil sensor.

thats prolly the damn plug for the evap canister

or yes the p/s pump as my other g, car had a red connector for it

[Dave96z34]

I didn't know the older ones had it too. Must have sume test purpose or gm would have wasted the $. But yeah I think I have seen a 97 with a ps fluid level sensor.

The plug was utilized on (at least) 1 Pontiac 1995 LQ1, it went into a sensor adapter on top of power steering pump.

Unrelated, the car also had the 2nd gear start switch.

I took the hood levours and will install onto my 95 MC Z34 hood.

I think there is another mystery plug on the drivers side as well, maybe for tuning or fuel pump?

[SappySE107]

Definetly the variable power steering setup. The 95 cutlass convertible has that power steering setup as well but I didn't know they had the wiring for it even if the car isn't equipped with that pump. Odd.

The red wire on the driver side is a test lead for the fuel pump (connect it to power, it runs the pump).
