Default I'm an idiot.

I recently unplugged many parts of the wiring harness to do some work on my truck.... I seem to have forgotten to plug this connection back in. It's connected to the plug for the oil filter housing adapter. I spent a good hour looking around for a place to plug it in to but can't find anything lol. Where does this plug go?

Looks like mass air flow sensor wire plug. Air filter housing.

Default Looked under my 5.4l

The plug goes to a switch underneath between frame running side to side and the steering assembly . Mine is in a hydraulic hose I assume to be power steering pressure. It is pointing at the ground . looks like it only uses 2 wires .

I seem to remember its purpose is to stop stalling when in a hard end limit condition of power steering . I think it causes a throttle up to compensate for excessive load at idle .
