    Hello, i had a 2.7 3rz supercharged that blew up last summer and spend the winter preparing my new engine, now that it's done I dropped it in the car and connecting everything. By the time i was done I lifted the car to do some adjusting and stuff and realized there was stiff a connector left, i spend hours trying to figure out where it went and my engine cranks but wont start, I have spark and gaz
    This is the connector, any idea where it goes? and if this may be the reason why it doesn't start?

    that's the thing, it was dangling under the car, it's in the same part of the harness as the cam, crank and throttle sensors

    The connector resembles the cruise control plug on my truck, although I don't have CC.

    Not sure but, with the oil residue on the connector, it could attach to a low oil sensor near the oil filter.

    I don't have CC either so it may be a left over plug but i'll check near the oil filter and let you guys know

    What you have there is the Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Plug (Bank 1 Sensor 1). Like others have posted, that actual plug is meant for an O2 sensor. Should be for your pre-cat sensor.
