Hi,

Well, I was careful, labelled everything (I thought), took pictures and read up in the archives...and I'm still stuck!

Replacing the leaky breather box on my 1986 240 DL inspired me to remove the intake manifold and finally install an updated engine harness. All was going well until this morning when during reassembly I find an "extra" three prong connector under the intake manifold that looks just like a fuel injector connector. There are actually two of these (1 longer with a blue stripe, 1 shorter no color code). According to my notes and pictures, the longer (blue stripe) one attaches to the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), but for the life of me I cannot find where to connect the shorter one. One article I found says "be careful to not cross connect the TPS connector with the Idle stabilizer connector"

Is the shorter one to the idle stabilizer? (and if so, where is this please)

I love Volvos, but I'm a novice and I feel a bit embarassed, but to be fair I had to take a week out of town between harness removal and replacement and during this week my teenager moved my entire work site into a messy pile to clean/paint her bicycle!!

Thanks for reading this, any help or hints are much appreciated..
