    I pulled the motor out of my car 2 yes ago and we ripped off some sensor wires I went to the junkyard to get replacement plugs but the colors are different this is the section of harness that goes behind the alternator goes down to the knock sensor, the rack, oil press, vehicle speed sensor and possibly another sensor I overlooked because I have 2 wires in that section of harness that I don't know where they go it's a 2000 gtp if anyone can help me figure out what colors go to what plugs and possibly what plug to what sensor I'm missing i don't know what else to do here I haven't been able to find a wiring diagram with the wire colors on it I seriously miss my car and want to drive it soon

    A picture of the harness in that area would be super helpful.

    Coming down that area you have:
    Small gray plug two wires (VSS on tailshaft of trans)
    Oval large green plug two wires (Oil pressure sensor)
    Black connector long one wire (rear knock sensor, connects to pigtail that stays on rear knock sensor)
    Square black connector four wires (downstream O2 and most likely your issue)
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Is it possibly the crank sensor? I know the cam sensor runs on the other side by the ignition coils
    I will have to re evaluate the situation today cuz rear o2 sensor dose seem possible after some thought I haven't seen those wires or plug in a while

    No, it's only one of the sensors I've mentioned in my post.

    Not to sound cocky, but I've named connectors on a harness too many times and am confident about this.

    There is no power steering switch though. Only the plug for the magnasteer, which... shouldn't even reach that far over.

    Glad you figured it out.
