Default Where does this connector belong?

I have a 96 Accord LX, with an F22B1 engine. I recently pulled the head off for repairs. I now have it back on, but found a connector that I don't know where to put it. I hope someone can recognize it and tell me where to place it.

That sure looks like a ground. Look in that area for a bolt hole.

Its definitely a ground, could go to the intake manifold or the thermostat housing, but most likely the bottom of the intake manifold, hard to tell from the picture. As long as you bolt it to something metal on the engine you should be fine.

Thanks! I found the bolt that was missing where it went! It went into the end of the intake.

Without that you would have had a hard time starting the engine. That is the infamous ECU & engine electronics ground (G101)

It still surprises me how many people work on cars and do not label the hoses or wires as they disconnect them. First thing I do is ether label them or take pictures of everything before I remove it. I also make sure to have a shop manual before I start doing any work. Just a good practice to get into.

I agree......I saw the pic and started to laugh, oh yea that is kind of important. How many times have you seen a post where "I just removed the head/intake and now the car won't start"
