M54 3.0 Connector Blanking plug?

[whiskychaser]

Chasing a possible vacuum leak and came across this tucked behind the intake manifold. I thought it may be a sensor. But as can be seen in the pic, the outer end is blocked and there are no pins to make a connection inside it. The colours of the wires leading to the socket are red/white and brown/white

My car does not have the air pump. But if it did, the connector would be the right size and shape, and in the right spot to connect to it.

I have concluded that what I have found is just a spare wire with a blanking plug on the end of it.

Anyone confirm before I move on please?

I’d pull the wire to see where it goes. What are the colors of the wires? Do all if the gauges work?

Thanks for the response.

The wires are as above - red/white and brown/white. They go to the junction box like the wires from the throttle body, ICV etc do. I realise that is not particularly helpful. All gauges work just fine. Plugged in my laptop with DIS on it and cannot find anything which is missing a reading. I am pretty convinced it is just a spare plug and if my car had it, would connect to the socket for the SAP in the top centre of the photo:
