What is this connector?

Been going through my recently-acquired KBP Type-S, trying to figure out why it was running so poorly. The back timing gear was off by two teeth, so I figured that the previous owner might have broken a timing belt, slapped another one on, and sold the car quickly. Looks like I was probably right. All 12 intake valves were bent. Just got the heads back from the machine shop and spent yesterday and today re-installing them with a new timing belt/water pump.

Almost done, but there is a mystery connector. I can't see anything to plug it into. It's right behind the power steering pump, just below the intake manifold tuning valve (IMT). I can't see loose connectors to plug it into. Any ideas?

Thanks! I just figured it out. The camshaft position sensor. It's WAY down there, and I couldn't see it!

I saw it in my email I guess comment got edited or deleted but I couldn't tell if there was a cel or not cause I already had one for my map and tps sensors cause I forgot to plug them in. The car will not start without tps just so everyone knows but with the map not even in the throttle body it will just suck air in that hole sounds like a belt squeal it was 1am and I just wanted to test it out and started rushing. (I installed a ported throttle body so when I got it out of the junkyard it didn't have a sensor there)
