What is this?
I was wondering if anybody can tell me what this connection is? Also, is this how it should look in the engine compt. Every time I see it I think something should be connected there but I can't find out what it is in any of my books. Of course, I don't know what the hell I'm looking for either. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm having difficulty with my photo program but the part I'm wondering about is that circular receptacle w/ 3 prongs below the Bosch part.

That's a connector used for diagnostics. It goes to a "sensor" on the top, rear of the engine that can detect flywheel position based on an allen head set screw that's inserted into the flywheel.
It does not need to be connected to anything so you have nothing to be concerned about.

There's also a little rubber plug that should be there to keep corrosion from happening....

Thanks guys. This forum is simply amazing. I'll be looking for a rubber insert to put in there.

Just put a piece of electrical tape over it. Or if you must have a plug, go to the hardward store and get a rubber stopper
