Unhappy What is this connector?

I just noticed on the front of the motor by the air pump,there's a 2 wire connector that has a clip behind it like an injector harness. Nothing is plugged in to it.What is this-should it be connected?

check the A.I.R. TUBE on that side and see if theres a sensor tied to it. if its not connected then its because of the smog pump recall. a sensor was disconnected and capped off and left to hang there.... atleast mine was. cant remember what it looked like though....

Ive removed my air pump long time ago, if im not mistaken I remember seeing a connector like that come off it.

I have seen it before, I think it does have something to do with the AIR system, but I know it's not important.

^^^No, the air pump should not affect the injectors.
