    1995 BMW 325i Engine M50TU Question: 2 Pin Wiring Connector Location on Intake Side?

    20190424_154730.jpg20190424_154800.jpg20190424_153032.jpg

    See Photos. 2 Electrical 2 Pin Connectors I Labeled "Intake" with Masking Tape.

    I just installed a New Starter which required removing the Intake Manifold for access.
    I took many photos and labeled various connections for reassembly.

    The Shorter "Right Side 2 Pin Wiring Connector" only reaches the underside of the Manifold for the Air Temperature Sensor.

    The Shorter "Left Side 2 Pin Wiring Connector" is the same size But I Cannot Find Any Place It Plugs In....???

    Is it possible it was never used / plugged anywhere and I mistakenly Labeled it "Intake"...?

    The Female 2 Pin Silver Surfaces (See Comparison Photo) are Green Corroded on the mystery Left Side Connector versus the Right Side that reaches the Manifold for the Air Temperature Sensor.

    Any assistance would be Greatly Appreciated.
    Thank you.

    All the 2 pin connectors under the intake.
    Both knock sensors each have a connector
    Icv
    Purge valve
    Ait
    Oil pressure sensor
    Both coolant temp sensors
    Vanos solenoid
    Theres a long wired plug that goes down to the fuel pressure regulator
    Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.

    Spyderg0d. Thank you for the Suggestions. I have "Looked" extensively and literally for many Hours.
    I Cannot Find the Mysterious 2-Pin Male Location for the 2-Pin Female Wire Connector
    (Shown on the Left Side in the Photo).

    The other 2-Pin Female Wire Connector to the "Right" is only Long Enough to Connect to the Intake Manifold on the Bottom
    of the Right Driver Side. It Fits well and both of these Male/Female metal Flat Pins are "Shiny Silver."

    The Mysterious "Left" Side 2-Pin Female Wire Connector is "Green Corroded Somewhat" which makes me Consider could it have Not Ever Been Connected???? That would be Strange....But, Would be an Explanation.
    Any Thoughts about...How Could this Be Confirmed??? Again, Thank you Very Much. 1995 BMW (M50TU Engine)

    I'm ~pretty~ sure that's the connector for the vanos solenoid. The two clips that sit next to each other on the block near the oil filter housing right?
