What is this broken wire?

Hy guys. I've looked in the FSM and cannot seem to find what this wire goes to. I drove my car into the garage, replace my turbo oil feed line. When I was finished, I tried to start the car, but it wouldn't fire. I found that I broke a wire going to one of the crank angle sensors. I temp. repaired it. It now will start, but seems like it's only running on one rotor. Again the car drove fine as I pulled it in. I found these two wires. The first lays under the alternator. The second was just laying there. Just wondering if anyone has any idea what the first wire is. It looks like it's a shielded wire. I doesn't apear to be one of the crank angle sensor wires. Does anyone think this wire may be the one causing the trouble. If not, any other ideas.

Thanks everyone! This forum is the best!

not the knock...I believe it is the oil pressure sending wire or the oil level sensor.

the first one I'm lost, but wtf is up with your CAS?

You're in luck on the second one, it should have a female spade connector which is easy to replace. I'm pretty sure that goes to your knock sensor. You'll see it in one of the rotor housings above the spark plugs.
The wire with the spade connector goes to the AC compressor. I'm not sure about the one that I'm holding in the pic.

not the knock...I believe it is the oil pressure sending wire or the oil level sensor.
My factory oil pressure gauge works and the low level light is not on.

My CAS wires are rigged for now. It was like that when I got it. I think I'll end up buying a new harness this winter.

Nice! That looks like what I'm looking for. Now. To find out what A and B are from. I'll take a look at the FSM later tonight.

Anyone else any ideas.

Thanks again.
