I have a 2000 grand prix gtp s/c. I just did an engine swap but can't find where one wire goes. It's on the harness with the oil filter holder and it's a single plug but can't seem to find where it goes.

It very well could be i'm not really sure. All I can say is that it is a single wire plug in and I can't find the wire it plugs into. In the diagrams I have seen it looks like it is supposed to be right next to the power steering pump but I cant seem to find anything there. Thank u for ur quick reply

What is the colour code on the wire, it may have a solid colour and a thin trace colour.

It is a dark color and what looks to be a solid color at that. Also would this one plug stop the car from starting. The engine cranks but it won't start. The gas is really old in the car because it has been sitting for quite some time and I heard that if the gas is too old that it may not start the car?

Depending on what the wire feeds, does it have 12V at it? If it has no voltage, earth it out and check the dash gauges, see if the Temp or oil gauge alter.

I'll have to check that out when I get back to working on it. As for the starting I believe we have that problem down to the crankshaft position sensor needs changing. Thank you for ur help.
