the red/white stripe wire on my mfi car goes to the rack solenoid. if that is the mystery wire in your harness?

i'll take out the air filter housing and peel back the booty, but i say oil temp on the breather for that photo.

Like meursault said. This sender is used to determine if gas should be sprayed in the air cleaner on startup.

When i had the 2.2, the oil pressure sending unit for the gauge was located at the back next to the flywheel (just beside the oil breather you show).

On my 3.0L the oil pressure sending unit for the gauge is on the cam oil line (big square block) feeding 4-5-6 side. The sender for the idiot light is located next the the breather. The oil temp sender is just next to the fan, on the 4-5-6 side. Look where the cam oil line goes out of the case, start going down toward the chain tensioner covers you should see a conector.

The senders are easy to id. The oil pressure sending unit for the gauge is like a small can, the sender for the oil press idiot like is like the one for the /4 hex head with plastic in the midle with a male conector sticking out of it. Oil temp sender is like a probe (once it's out of the engine) with a round male conector on it. When installed it looks basically like the oil press sender for the idiot light but with a round male connector on it.
