so you must have a 2.1L engine...
these connect to the ecu to tell the engine to give in more juice when
at idle and you ar trying to turn the steering wheel. Turnign the wheel
will make the ps pump work more and can cuase you to stall, so this is
the work-around. You need some wires connected to them...
