Changed belts, coolant, thermo and plugs

I changed all of the above and I'm dead! I feel soooo tired. I noticed as i was doing this that there was a plug that wasn't connected and I couldn't see anywhere it could connect to. It was green and it was by the fuse box, above the spart plugs in the drivers side. I'm still curious what it is for. Thanks

I believe that's just the engine diagnostic plug, which is not meant to be plugged into anything unless you're at a shop that has a computer to plug into there.

The first time i did anything to my car was when the coolant hose right under the oil filter busted.

I must have slept for at least a day after that.

You can do your own diagnostics with two LED lights from RadioShack or the shack of your choice using that six socket, green diagnostic plug. The same two led's can be used to set the tps. Look at the FC3S site or TreasureValley rx site for instructions. Its not a bit complicated to do and its a fun project.

EDIT: Here: http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/articles.php

Or if you want, I'll sell you a diagnostic tester I bought from Mazdatrix some years ago. Half price.

And if anybody wants to buy some braided oil hose lines that are shown on the Mazdatrix site, I have a pair that I'll sell for three quarters price. Never been used ever never.
