I was swapping my wheels with summer tires on the Celi and found this connector just hanging.
What is it and where does it go?

Just past passenger's side wheel well (in this vicinity):


Looks like the other end connects somewhere behind this pulley:


Standard two-pin connector:



Any ideas? Thanks.

(Sorry for the crappy cell pics)

Ok, I checked the engine codes and I'm getting codes 52 and 71.
According to my quick research:
52 - Open or short circuit in knock sensor signal
71 - EGR gas temperature less than predetermined level during EGR control

So, the dangling connector might be an knock sensor. does anybody have an picture where the sensor is located on the block?
Also WTH code 71 mean and how do I fix it?

To answer your question on the 71 code the knock sensor will fix that. Im surprised that you didnt get a O2 code seeing as you have prob. been running rich or lean... anyways yes the connector is to the knock sensor and it is very easy to access, it will be located on either the back of the block(about center) or around the timing belt area.
