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....

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.
