if im looking at it correctly, the green wire is a sheilded wire upper left of the image is the corner of the battery, right side of the image is the head ![http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g263/HotRodKid3/fuzzys%20wiring/IMG_0412.jpg](http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g263/HotRodKid3/fuzzys%20wiring/IMG_0412.jpg) ---

Is this multiple choice? MAP Sensor, Knock sensor, or maybe Manifold pressure sensor at a quick glance but I’m not 100% sure, and you can’t go by the wire color because Mitsu changes wire colors like supermodels change shoes. Get a hold of a service manual and verify it, or undue some of the electrical tape and shielding and trace the wire to it’s source (where it ends up in the engine). _I’m leaning towards knock sensor, because I know one of them plugs in around that area._ ---

the knock sensor is the plug on the head, that either goes to the plug on the throttle body (fiav or w/e) that idle control crap eltric sensor is or it looks liek the fron o2 sensor, but if u said it is not, then check teh throttle body area… its hard to tell from the pic but it doesnt go anywhere on the thermostat housing does it? EDIT: its not the maf, mdp, or knock sensor for sure EDIT 2: this for a 2g rats nest? EDIT 3: lol this is pisssing me off, i cant really tell from the angle… you sure it doesnt plug into the knock sensor plug by the head? EDIT 4: do you have the front stock o2 sensor in? B/c the o2 sensor has about a 2ft extension on the sensor and it runs all the way underneath the thermostat housing. So after changing my mind 200 times im guessing front o2 sensor. If i wasnt so damn lazy i would walk outside and look at my car 🙂 ---

front o2 is 4 wires, mone of the wires are the same color as the ones in question car isnt a rats nest anymore, devon (fuzzyfish) fixed that (alarm and safc removal / cleanup) maf sensor is like a 4 or 6 pin plug IIRC, so its not that ill look around the engine more later to see if i can spot where it goes, figured id post it and ask simply cause i had the pic, and i wont be seing the car for a few days ---

dude, that’s the power supply line for hte flux capacitor. don’t cut that! is it a shielded coax-style wire (similar but thinner than like a cable-TV wire)? or … ? ---
