I pulled the motor to fix some exhaust problems and found two wires with connectors that aren't hooked up to anything.

The first one is located behind the fan shroud on the engine/tranny mating flange and looks like it may be some kind of flywheel position sensor or something. It has a round 3-pin plug on it.

The second one is attached to a relay that is located at the top right of the engine compartment right by the deck lid hinge. It has a flat 3-pin connector and the wire is just hanging in the engine compartment.

What do these go to?

Probably for the defunct diagnostic port...
