2 connections left before my car is back up and running....where do they go?

[jackso11]

I have 2 plugs pictured below before I can start my car after years of being off the road, unfortunately a) I didn't unplug them so don't know where they go, and b) it was about 4 years ago they were unplugged and the person who did unplug them has no idea where they go.

 

Any ideas?

 

They are located front of the block, drivers side under the intercooler pipework.

obviously the ones in red tape. I am not sure why but the photos rotate when I upload them, easyier to look at if they were clockwise rotated 90deg.

Water temp and gauge sensors?

[jackso11]

They do look like sensor plugs of some kind but the water ones in the aluminium elbow are both already connected.

How about the steering rack and the VSV's?

 

I'll try and get a pic up of mine where they all go to give you an idea hopefully.

 

Edit:

 

Here is one I took when putting it all back together.

They look like they could do with a clean too.

I think its these cables going off the side of your image...

whole engine bay needs a good clean, its been in the bodyshop for a few weeks with the bonnet open.

 

Thanks for pointing that out though

I can take a look when I'm.home if that helps

Yes please

The only 2 cables that go off to that side are for the steering rack and the 02 sensor.

 

They are not for the 02 sensor, different connector type and looks like in your picture you already have that connected.

 

So my guess is one is the rack (going off to the left) and the other goes to around the back area of the alternator.

They go to the power steering rack
