Help! where does this wire go?

Ok, so ive been having some starting issues, sometimes my car would automatically start up some times it needs a few (some times more than a few) clicks before it would turn over. So I decided to purchase Pettit Racings Starter Booster. In my process of hooking up the Starter Booster i found a wire that was disconnected and looks like it broke off somewhere. The wire is red and white and is connected to the wire loom with the 2 starter wires, but its going in a different direction from the starter wires. The Starter Booster fixed the starting issue but i still wanna know where this red and white wire goes to.
Thanks for any help

The red and white wire is circled

The only single wire sensors on that side are the temp sender, coolant level, oil level. I may be missing others but that is all I can think of. Did this come from the engine charging harness?

What year is your FD? Also no offense, but the Pettit starter booster is a waste, built my own with about $15 worth of parts from Advance, and about 10minutes.

That will work provided he has a 94, since that is the only electrical manual available on that site. I on the other hand have wiring diagrams for 93, 94 and 95, and that is why I was asking what year he has.

The manuals really shouldn't be too much different. Most everything is the same between the years. I have a 93 but use the 94 manuals and haven't had any problems. Though I haven't had to use them much.

I have run into a few minor problems between the year models, but mostly minor things. the pinouts are the almost exactly the same, but a few wire colors are different. The 93-94 and 94-95 differences aren't as big as the 93-95 differences.
