ever since i got my car 8 months ago this plug has just been laying there, i had never started the car til today, run a little funny. i don't know if this plug has anything to do with it, It sat by the firewall.

Discrip.

2 Black Wires
pink Inside with 2 little metal things next to it.
when i found it, it was plugged into a Pink Housing that ran with the engine harness,it had a Blue/yellow wire, and a Green/yellow wire. i don't know where this thing is supposed to go, any help would be great thanks guys

How about a pic of what it was connected to as that would help in identifying it.

That is your EGR temp sensor plug. It plugs into a connection just to the right of the detaniton sensor plug on Calif. cars.

You can reach it by comming from the right side and reaching behind the intake.

my car smoke a little under accl. not alot just a tad bit. could this be the problem?

No the only thing it is for is to tell the ECU the EGR is working. When mine showed up it there a interminntent CEL and made no difference in engine opperation.

yes a bad knock sensor will deffinatly make your car run bad. and the plug is there on every model due to mass production. hope this helps you out man
