I did more looking: the wire in question comes off of a branch of wires including: both wires to the primary fuel injectors, a wire that leads to behind the alternator, the ecu ground at the base of the tb support, and this funky wire with the black plastic thing


yep, that is supposed to connect to the O2 sensor.

ok, I have a parts car, I just didn't want to remove the whole intake on it to figure out that wire...but since the o2 sensor is accessible, I'll see If I can rip the plug off of it and use it



any idea how to tell if it's a Calif. model?

About the BAC valve:



I would advise against taking it out since it compensates for any electrical load put on engine at idle (especially if you have AC and power steering).



Many pple have taken it out though but usually their idle is set higher than stock to prevent stalling when electrical load is put on engine at idle.



Also, it's not always a good idea to change too many things at the same time. If something goes wrong, then it's harder to figure out what went wrong. I find it safer to do 1 mod at a time.

yeah, I decided to leave it on...the only mod I'm doing is the tb mod, everything else is replacing hoses, cleaning manifolds, seals fixed....preventative maintenance
