I'm not entirely sure what it is, but if you have an SR motor, it might be a left over plug from the KA, I have one just like it hanging out just like that.

it somewhat resembles one that goes in the alternator. not sure though.

and i know the SOHC ka's had the lower radiator hose temp sensor or whatever, but i know s13 DOHCs dont, and i dont think s14s do either.

AIR CONDITIONING. your....evaporator i believe should be right there. did you remove your A/C stuff?

my car had a temp sensor on my old lower radiator hose. just a piece of tube with a sensor threaded into it. when I replaced the hose it came as one solid piece of rubber and i didn't want to cut it up so I left it out. can't notice anything being bothered by it.

could also be for the washer motor or maybe even foglights?

Might be the plug that connects to the radiator fan. I might be working under the car tomorrow, so I'll double check for you.

O2 sensors are more like an oval/rectangle, not that perfect square.

+1 for a/c related plug. I have one similar in my engine bay that would plug into the metal cylinder from the A/C that's normally right there by the battery

Im going to try to get there a little later in the day. A few friends are heading up in a few minutes.

So far I have something ac related or window washer. Both of them work fine. But ill be under the car coming monday trying to figure it out. I should have made a pole to see who could guess it right

I'll say it again, it's the plug the the ac condensor FAN. Doesn't mean it will stop your ac from working. It'll just make you overheat, at a standstill....In extremly hot weather. It's supposed to be clipped to the tab, on the tube container connected to the ac condensor.
