Default What is this connector?

We recently bought a '95 Trans Am that needed a lot of TLC. We found a ton of connectors that weren't plugged in and we figured out most of them. However, we have one that we can't find. Been to Shoebox's FANTASTIC website but still can't find it. Does anyone know where this connector goes? The wires are red / black / red-black. We really appreciate any help you can give!

My guess is someone removed the AIR pump and that is the loose connection.

I concur with you guys, Air Pump. Both my Lt1 and the 3.4L V6 I own have Air Pump Connects that look like that.

Sweet, thanks for the fast responces! Since the motor no longer has an air pump, I no longer have that connector!

I don't know, guys......The "air pump" connector, to the best of my recollection, has more of a square shaped plug. The pictured plug looks more like the plug to the MAF, except the wire colors don't match those on my '96 LT1.

My air pump connector on my 94 had a 3 wire hookup like that.
