Help me find something

it may be a really stupid question but,
can anyone tell me where i can find the condenser harness connector and what it looks like and its purpose?

its suppose to be in correlation with the ignition coil harness connectors

If you're standing in front of the car, the condenser is attached to the front right corner of the wiring harness. It is a small black rectangular box. The connector is plugged into the condenser, and uses a bright red wire that's easy to see. The purpose of the condenser is a bit of a mystery to me - it's wired in parallel with the ignition circuit. It provides some capacitance, perhaps to smooth transients, but why I don't know. You can unplug it and the car will start and run normally, but maybe the radio will crackle. The purpose of the harness connector is easier to understand.

Well, that's my specialty.

IIRC it's under P1320 in EC.
