Help identify these plugs
Help identify these plugs I was out messing with the car this morning and found these connectors taped up. It was like this when I bought the car. EGR and TCS have been deleted. The TCS module I have in the shed has a 2-pin hookup and does not match either of these plugs. The three pin plugs were plugged together.
And when you look at the plugs/connectors, here is what they look like
There is a male and female 3 pin, and a 5 pin.
Any thoughts? I was seeing if I could remove the connectors on these and tape the wires up so I don't have a big clunk of tape around a decent sized connector.
Thanks

Well the a/c is removed but there is a 2 pin plug for that (not pictured). These 3 pin plugs were plugged together and taped up for some reason. I just can't thing for the life of my what they would have been used for.
And the purple one has to be from EGR because the TCS module has a 2 pin plug

I went and looked at my car when I made my first post and I have removed my egr/air/ac/. The blue one is for the egr. You are correct on the A/C its a 2 pin with a blue O ring. But that purple and the female I could not find on my car. My traction control/cruse has a 2 pin with a green O ring, brown and grey wire comming out of the cruse box and a grey and white wire in the harness. The only plug I can find on my car with the purple O ring is for the MAF.

Verdad Gallardo Hmmmm. I wonder if this is this something that is 1998 car specific? I could look at my pin out assignments that I have printed out. And calculate by wire color, and try to trace it to the PCM.
One thing I want to try is have the car idling, unplug the two, and see if that makes a difference. If not, I might just remove the connectors and wrap the wires up all neat.

So I could theoretically solder all three of those wires together and lose the connector and still be good. I just don't see the point of that connector. If its meant to be plugged together, why even have the connector in there???
EDIT: Even if I take the connector apart and inline splice then with some spade connectors or something. I dont know
Take the connector apart ,clip the terminals back together ,solder them and heat shrink. Its a no brainer.
