Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see anything unplugged. Where are you referring
to?

Re: what is this plug?

You need a new IAC connector, the square 4-wire on the left. The terminal retention flap is gone and there are terminals pulled out of the connector.

Ah yes, upon closer examination it looks just like the one on my car I've been meaning to replace. Thanks for the slap on the head I needed

Not only that, but this as well. Is this just random post anything in a IAC specific thread week?

Re: what is this plug?

I removed the old spoiler and pulled the rear bumper. I also sanded down my 3rd brake light bracket removing all the paint. My restore journey begins!

Re: what is this plug?

I didn't do it personally but had the cracked flexplate replaced along with a leaking differential gasket and a rusted brake line. No more rattling from the flexplate thank God. Also, had the starter replaced because it was on the way out.

Re: what is this plug?

I pulled it out and I think I broke it, or at least it’s now at a funny angle. Can this be repaired/ straightened?

Thanks!

Ask her if she LIKES the funny angle. Some women don't want it straight. You might come out ahead on the deal.

Or just delete the posts (including mine) that have nothing to do with the original question.
