If anyone could tell me what this plug is for it would be greatly appreciated. It's in the wiring coming from the ignitor chip on my Ca. I don't see anywhere to plug it in? The car cranks put won't start and I just wanna know if this plug could be the problem. I'm getting fuel, but no spark. Thanks guys.

DUDE same here wtf is that for? It has a green and brown wire that run to it a ground, and connects to the ignitor some how if I remember right. I have a lot of wires and plugs that I have no idea what they go to, and I am also having the same problem with start up as you. It cranks but no fire:( No electric is getting to the coils to the spark plugs to get some firing going. Anybody care to add some pics of what we do/don't need for the wiring harness? Thanks guys

Found from a buddy of mine who had a Ca a while ago that is just a plug that goes to the power steering. I figured out the problem too, it was the drop resistor. I have one now and the car starts up like a champ.

If that wire is for the power steering it might be for bumping up the idle at full steering lock.

It looks like one of the solenoid wires (maybe for the stock boost control?)...

IIRC, that is for the stock boost control solenoid.
