thats the solenoid wire, wire the solenoid to A4 and the green plug or the pressure stiwch to D6 but since yours is a 92 the passenger shock tower plug is already wired for vtec all you gotta do is add the wires to the other side add a wire to the one thats orange/white for the solenoid and for the pressure stiwch add that one to the orange/blue or light blue wire

If you have any extra wire harness laying around with some plugs on it, you can do this in a very OEM looking way. I took my old B7 harness I had and chopped it up, using from it about 2ft of wire and some pins + some electric tape, wire loom, and heat shrink I had in my garage. For the vtec solenoid, take the white inner piece of the plug out and the plug itself will slide off the pin, than slide about 2" of heat shrink over the solenoid wire and use one of the female pins and plug the two together, than heat shrink the connection. Than use the opposite end of the female side to connect it to the shock tower with a male pin attatched to the other end of the wire. And do the same thing for the pressure switch. For the ground, I grounded mine out the same place the ecu is grounded, on the 10mm nut above the thermostat housing. Also note, if your car came non-vtec the 2 spots on the shock tower plug where you need to plug the 2 wires in at will have little black plugs in there, u can just squeeze them out with some small needle nose pliers. You'll also need to take off the shock tower plugs inner piece before you can put the 2 wires in there, but be VERY careful none of the wires fall out of place, with that said I'd wait until you had everything measured out and ready to be plugged in before you start with the shock tower. Than once you're done you can just electric tape over the wires and wire loom them into the OEM harness or however you wanna do it. Here's some pics to help, once you get the hang of it soon after it will seem fairly simple. Good luck
