Time to play! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? Game

My car has always had starting problems these days it's turning on fine but very rarely does it it turn off after I crank it.. sometimes the idle is way low, anyway I recently discovered this wire that appears to be borken and ripped off something I dont know what it is!? or where it goes to, but I do know where it's coming from, it looks like its coming out of the STARTER harness but I can't seem to pin point where it connects too maybe you all could help me. Right now I just took some pictures and if you are all in the mood to play the game please be my guest and have fun while helping me! I would greatly appreciate any help in finding out where this wires connects too or if it is essential to my starting system or electrical system. Thanks everyone, here they are:








pleeease Help!

Could be your knock sensor boot ..

Did you look to see if there was one on there??
appears to me that sucker snapped, but .. it could
also be the coolant fan switch sensor boot, they look
similar in design ..

If that is a green wire with a white stripe (which it is), then that is your radiator cooling fan switch connector (which goes to the passenger side cylinder head between the 6 and 8 cylinders)...

Your cooling fan will not engage automatically... It still might come on with the A/C, but not without..

as you can tell the AC has been removed, and the electric fas has been micky moused. Some jerk off who had it before me screwed it up and now the fan turns on as soon as I turn the key..... and stays on until the keys from the ignition are off
