Isn't that one of the connectors that goes to the Neutral Switch on the trans? One GY (Green-Yellow) and one Y-B (Yellow-Blue).

Connector B-30 Page 50 B-1 in the 1985 RX-7 Wiring Diagram.

neutral switch or check connector (if paired with a light green w/ yellow stripe)

Mazda changed wire colors many times but:
Black/yellow stripe= power
black/white stripe= power
blue/yellow stripe= power (later models, I think)
pretty much everything else is ground... essentially (with regard to small wires for switching)
