Two engine questions (mystery engine electrical pigtail).

Well, I spent all day tying up some loose ends on the engine swap. I noticed that where the green glow plug wires on the passenger side come out of the loom (under fuel filter), there are two wires (org/black and grn) also coming out and into a female wire connector (cant find in TM). What does this connect to? Would someone mind looking at thiers. I noticed that on the new motor, it does not idle higher on a cold start like it should. I have to hold the throttle down a little or it will stall. The cold idle plunger does not move. Hopefully the mystery wire can explains the cold start rough idle plunger problem. Thanks in advance

I think you're right on. The cold idle sensor is on the rear of the passenger side head and that's what should be plugged in there.

WOW that was easy. I had my mind so set on finding the other half of the electrical connector over looking the hidden temputure sensor. Thanks CUCVFAN
