Can't find plug to mass airflow sensor

I recently removed the intake manifold and replaced all my vacuum hoses. Finally put it all back together today, and embarrasingly enough, I can't seem to find the electrical harness that connects to the mass air flow sensor.

Can someone clue me in as to where to look? I'm wondering if it is attached to something under the manifold and feeds out the side, in which case I probably need to remove the manifold again and pull the cable through ...but then again, I really have no recollection of where it was located in the first place.

Re: Can't find plug to mass airflow sensor

You won't believe this, Scott, but I had a vision about it and it is under the air box!

Seriously, it is either there or hanging down where it fastens at the bottom of the washer fluid thing right behind the air box and if you took that off, it is hanging down from a fastener right behind the washer fluid thingie on the frame of the car. The wires should be wrapped in the squirrelly protection black plastic stuff.. If it is any consolation, it can't go far!!

Take care,
Keith

Re: Can't find plug to mass airflow sensor

Keith,
Thanks. Yeah, my question was kind of embarrassing and idiotic all at the same time...

I knew it had to be there somewhere. I did such a nice job of replacing all the vacuum hoses, and had this fear I would never be able to get everything back together, and then after everything went together easier than it came apart, I couldn't find the harness for the life of me. I must have stared at and poked around that side of the engine for over an hour...then I started thinking maybe it was supposed to be fed out of the side of the manifold, and that I had left it under the manifold. I had visions of taking the whole thing apart again.

Finally, after taking a good long break, I went out to the garage with a flashlight and noticed a cable sitting way under the engine. Grabbed it, and sure enough there was the missing harness..
