Can't find connector to opti help plz
I have been looking for the electrical connection that goes on the top of the opti for a while now, and I have no clue where it is.
http://shbox.com/1/opti.jpg on the bottom picture there it is the top left electrical connection. Can anyone tell me where it comes from or where it sits when it is off ? I need to hear this baby purrrrrrr

The cable running from the pcm has a connector that branches off. Mine is on the passenger side of the intake. its grey and a short peice connects from it to the top of the opti (by short I mean 1.5ft approx) i have an extra if you need one *I think I still do...I can double check*

Re: Can't find connector to opti help plz
I saw that just after I found it, thanks a bunch shoebox.
anyone have any clue why it would start, idle at 1500rpms then die 3 seconds later and not restart?
vaccum lines? There are 2 that have to be plugged in... I also think one of the o2 sensors in the header collector is gone, I need to find/buy that one as well... would this cause these symptoms?
thanks again
