Question HELP, One loose harness plug, cant find location

Car is a 2006 5AT G Sedan

Plug is light blue and has a small bracket attahec near the plug and is in the upper rear of the motor. It comes off the sub harness that the knock sensor plug us on. I thought it was maybe somthing for the intake manifold but I cant find anything for it. Ive been looking for a while, very frustrated, moving on to other things for a bit. Any help is appreciated.

Coolant temp sensor? Look on the rear coolant pipe, towards the passenger side. I believe it goes there.

Oh wait, I know, it's for the fuel evap solenoid. It mounts on the rear of the plenum. If it's not that, then I have no idea what it is for.

Could be knock sensor under the intake manifold, Coolant temp (is light grey i think) or it could be EVAP. more importantly what are the wire colors?

Did you install the aftermarket shielded knock sensor wire that a lot of us installed a few years ago ? If you did , the one hanging could be the original stock one . Does the car run ? have CEL's ?


EDIT

I see yopu have a 06 . Dont think you would have done the above

Never mind !

Don't trust the colors on the diagrams. It has to be either the knock sensor, evap, or coolant temp. Those are the only single/small connectors in that area. Let us know.
