Mystery wire left over after my rebuild

Not sure how much traffic there is on my rebuild thread so I'll give this a separate thread. Just found this wire, which somehow got left out after my rebuild. It can't be too important since the 4runner seems to be fine, but I'd like to figure out where it is supposed to go. Any ideas?

Thanks for the replies. I have a feeling that's where it belongs, but I'm not sure yet. Does anyone have a picture of that side of the engine compartment that might show the wire and where the grounding connections are supposed to go?

The best I could do is a picture of the wire after already having been disconnected from the engine and laid aside. I'm not sure how much help it will be for you, but here it is:

Here's another picture, with the wire hanging. Not sure where the gray connector goes, but it bolts to the fender well, and the engine.

The end that goes to the engine is bolted to one of the spark plug clips.

I see that Cyberman has been perusing my pics at Webshots!

here's another, showing the connector next to the coil pack, kind of under the air flow sensor box.

That's right. Have it bookmarked just just this occasion. And, I didn't have any of my own.
