Default Where Does This Wire Go

I just came across the wire shown in the pic and was wondering what I missed when I put the intake manifold back on.







The wire has been like that for the past three years.



Thanks

Looks like it is for the knock sensors

I thought about that but my HP Tuner showed a degree or two of knock on my HP log which means the knock sensors are working.

One last thing.. In HP Tuners, while logging, the oil pressure shows -15.4 psi but the gauge is working on the cab.

Weird stuff..

Thanks!

I did remove the air and egr when I had the manifold off. I wonder if that connector was left over after the removal?

My guess is from the air system.

Yup. Connects to the EGR Solenoid. Be sure that you capped the Vacuum line that connected to it behind the intake OP

Vacuum line is capped off and thanks! I had the manifold off three years ago and sometimes it is hard to remember where everything went

I need to wrap connector, label it, and secure it properly.
