Default Unknown Plug/Connector on back of Intake?

2000 T/a M6 sp
158k miles


I took off my intake to fix an oil problem and I'm assessing what connectors/plugs go where but I cannot find where this one came from.

It's 2 prong, has a a blue and black end, and has a blue + light teal colored wires (See Pic). I've accounted plugs/connectors for the Oil pressure sending unit, Map Sensor, Cam Sensor, and Knock sensors but I don't see where this goes either on the engine itself or on it intake. It has very little slack and goes into the main harness behind the intake.

Anyone know what this is? I have a feeling it is staring me in the face

Yep. Same side too. That's for the knock sensor harness. Other one is for the OPSU and there should be one towards the passenger side for the MAP.

Isn't that little AIR piece located on that side. Been so long since I've had emissions my memory is kinda foggy.

Wow, I'm an idiot I thought the wire colors looked familiar. You guys are right, after double checking just now its the female end of the knock sensor. I forgot it plugged in on that side, and then has a clip to hold the plug to a bracket. It was in fact staring me in the face.

My apologies, it's been a long day and between all the PCV, Air injection, EGR, vacuum solenoid, vacuum lines, and EVAP system plugs, and the rest of hoses and connectors around the intake, its hard to keep a mental note of all of it. Not to mention, my car has all original emissions crap, it was never messed with by the original owner... I Sometimes wish it was. haha

Thanks again for the help
