Mystery wire connector

Hi everyone
I'm in the middle of a cooling system overhaul and have the manifold off the car to reach the water pipe. I have one wiring connector that I don't know where it goes after removing the intake manifold. It's a 2 wire connector with an orange and white wire, it's attached to the harness right with the intake vanos solenoid plug and the map sensor plug in the manifold. 2011 MCS. The manifold has the throttle body plugged in, the 2 solenoids are back on and plugged in

Tricky to see.

Back there you have 2pin with orange and white:

Fuel Injector
Vanos Solenoid
Fuel Tank Vent Valve
Turbo Blow Off Valve

FWIW check the two vacuum hoses are well attached to the vacuum accumulator (reservoir) that black metal can before you re-assemble. Mine are reasonably easy to pull off and they are needed to activate the turbo blow off valve.

you're right, I misread his post.

the 2-wire connector is for the purge valve.
