As I work through replacing all the fuel lines on my recent acquisition, I have found a disconnected wire. It is a single wire under the battery tray and injection brain, green with a black trace. Looks to plug into one of those nasty clear plastic two ended connectors that VW and Porsche loved so much back in those days.
Thing is, I haven't been able to get it reconnected, and I'd like to know what it is and if I can leave it until later, when I pull the battery tray out. My wiring diagrams (I have both Clymer and Haynes) haven't helped much, the only green/black I've found is the left parking lights, which all work so I don't think that is it. Any clues? |

Update - I remembered I have PDF copies of the factory manuals as well. Looks like it might be the oil temp sender.

Yes, oil temperature sensor.
