What would this be?

ran into this the other day

don't know what this attaches too but the original owner obviously didn't want a code to go off so added a resister to the connector

does anyone know what this was attached to? its located with the other major ecu attachments

Can you peel back the black insulator/shroud thingy and read any numbers off from the cores?

Will give that a try and then post, thanks

Numbers are not legible . Anybody else know?
One is red other is pink

The only 2 wire connector I have in that area is for the fuel vapour purge electrovalve. It could be a standard part of the loom and your particular car doesn't have that feature

possible.... but why would the PO jam a resistor in the connector. knowing how things work in the Dom. Rep. probably the cheapest way to fix the faulty purge valve is to put a resistor in the connector so the light on the dash doesn't come on

thanks for letting me know what it is

Actually, I'd forgotten about the resistor , so as you say, it could have been put in there to fool the ecu into thinking it's still present. (if, indeed, that's what it is!)

You could remove the resistor and see what fault code appears?

(I don't necessarily recommend doing this )

I can't think of anything else it could be. Perhaps the ecu and harness are from another car with a similar engine (not necessarily a 406)?
