I lost the USB cable to my camera, so the picture I took I can't upload...

Near the throttle body (From a 98GTP) there are two wiring connections that are not plugged into anything. One has 3 pins and is yellow, two pins on the bottom and one on top (not 3 in a row). The other is blue and has only two pins. I know it's not much to go off of, but any idea what these go to?

Also, this is a series 3 3800SC. There is a sensor sticking out of the supercharger near the EGR valve. It has a spot for a vacuum line and socket for a wire, but neither of the above connections fit it. Ideas?

I'll try to borrow a camera over the next few days if I can

Can't be a 98 and a series III at the same time. Three pin plugs like you stated can be a newer throttle position sensor if it has one gray, one blue and one black wire or a coolant sensor if one wire is green, one yellow and the other black. Only other one used like that is A/C pressure sensor where one wire is red, one gray and the other black. Dan

the 3 wire sounds like a CTS, it uses a little adapter that goes from a 3 pin round to a 3 pin flat.

It's a series III motor with 98TB, fuel injectors, wiring and PCM. I'll check the colors of the wires when I get home. Thanks for the input

And what is a CTS?
coolent temp sensor? I'm pretty sure I've got that hooked up already

It's the coolant temp sensor. Still don't know what the other plug is for...

I'm guessing I need to change the sensor itself. The current one only has 2 wires and won't plug in. The auto parts store said the 98 coolant temp sensor has 3 pins so hopefully it plugs right in
