Subject:      3 prong connector on alternator
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

A friend of mine was looking at my engine and noticed a connecter mounted on
the right side of the alternator, attached right behind it. There are 3
metal prongs in the middle surrounded by black rubber. I have been trying to
figure out what this should connect to, but I can't find it in the Bentley.
I am guessing it is one of the air sensors or regulators. My engine lacks
the full throttle switch and idle switch and I get about 21mpg on the
highway goin between 70-80mph with the AC on. So I am happy with my Vanagons
performance and since it is running fine I don't want to add anything that
was removed that will reduce mpg, although I do run into the occasional hill
I could use a little extra power on. Could someone please tell me what is
supposed to be connected there and how it will affect my engine performance.


Thanks,
Nathan
