Default after zc swap one wire without a home located around oil filter/alternator, please help

anyone ever had this problem? i have one connection left to be made but i can't seem to find where it goes. sorry this isn't too specific about which wire i thought maybe someone else has had this problem. the wire comes off around where the alternator wires are. My car is also is idling very low when i push in the clutch.

thanks guys

Is it one single wire or a wire harness plug? I have one white colored harness plug that was left over, it plugged into something the DX had that the ZC does not.

Default Re: fast idle solenoid

it's for the fast idle solenoid, which kicks in at -10C. You should have two wires left over;
tape them up and tuck them away, you don't need them on the ZC. Then again, mine idles
like crap.......
