Question What is this plug for?

I was working on my car and noticed this dangling plug in the engine bay (marked with the red circle)... does anyone know what it might be for? It is not connected to anything and I definitely did not disconnect it.

Thanks.

That is for the VFAD solenoid.
I assume you have the RB air duct with your intake.
Just zip-tie the connector out of the way so it doesn't get tangled in the belts (if it isn't already).

Duh... thanks. That makes sense. Should have remembered disconnecting it when the intake + duct was installed (a long time ago).

That's an even worse ripoff than getting this "diagnosed" in a stealership
