Default Help me ID unknown engine bay connector

I am finishing up H/C/I, headers, etc on my 98 TA. I was reconnecting my fuel injectors and noticed this rogue connector (purple seal). It splits off from the cable assembly at the back of the RH cylinder head. It does not seem to belong to anything. The stuff on the backside (MAP, oil pressure sending unit, and knock sensors) are all hooked up. So, what the heck does this connector go to?




Thanks in advance for your help.

Camshaft position sensor connector. You'll probably need to pull the intake to reconnect that.

It may have popped up in all the excitement. I sometimes find myself unplugging too much when I get into a job.

Thanks for the help everyone. I spent a few minutes looking at a diagram of the back top of the engine, and then used a small mirror to find the sensor, which was indeed unplugged. Had it reconnected (I think) in less than a minute. Spent another 10 minutes attempting to verify it was actually connected and not just stuffed in a crevice. My only concerns now are why it was unplugged and that I have the connector fully seated. I hope I did not accidentally break the sensor and pull the connector out during intake removal.

ETA
Jeez! It was bothering me that I was not able to get a good look at the connector to verify it was plugged in, so I grabbed a larger mirror and checked it out again. Good thing. I had actually stuffed the wire connector under the sensor connector. Now, I am 95% certain it is properly plugged connected.
