What is this plug on the engine loom?

What plug is this on the UK 4th gen engine loom? I assume the other one is for the VSS, but I am stumped on what the other one is. I have been looking through the service manuals but haven't found it yet. The mystery plug is right under the intake manifold, slightly on the gearbox side. I have pointed to where it attaches onto the engine loom.

It's not for the mystery cold boost thingy is it?

The air boost valve? I think that is only on JDM engines. Also it is not for the IAB vacuum tank, I have that attached already and it is a different connector.

Ah yeah, air boost is what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure that's a UKDM thing though, there was a thread about it at some point?

You may be right, I didnt have one on my 5th gen JDM engine.

This is what the 4th gen service manual says, there is no legend though so there is no description

It must be the O2 sensor.
I wont get very far without that plugged in.

so definately the O2 sensor then? i know its at the back of the tb on the loom but seems a bit short - i guess you can add some wire if needed
i thought it might be to do with the air intake meter box thingy -the one that at the back of the battery and opens and closes the butterfly in the resonator which you dont have - so dont need it?
edit- no - is it the connector not the injector resistor box - th one that sits on the firewall?
i dunno - lets fit the engine in and we will find out

Air boost valve is UKDM, but you say that plug is over towards the gearbox side, so I don't think it can be that because that valve is towards the flywheel end of the IM (from memory...) so that wouldn't reach I don't think?
I can't recall if I took pics when I disconnected everything on that loom, or not. I'll have a dig back and see... If not, I can check the engine it came off, next time I'm over at the barn.
Edit: I can also try and have a look on my UKDM on the drive tonight, though won't be easy cause of access and it's dark...
