Mystery plug need help!

I just changed the valve covers and gaskets (04 version) on my 02 maxima. Other than a sore back and a dozen scratches on my hands and wrists, it went pretty well. The problem is that I have a plug up front and I don't know where it belongs. As you are looking at the engine, it's up front and just to the right of the 4 other plugs which are L to R light blue, green, dark blue, green. There is what looks like a holder for it, but no place to plug it in. Could it be something used for diagnostics?

DUDE. It's the thing right next to the thing that has a thing for it. Can't miss it.
BTW the car runs fine and has no codes for the past 1k.

The front of the motor there should be 3 plugs for the o2 sensors. Don't recall the 4th one.

The 4th one is the crank position sensor. I have 02 and recently did valve covers, but I am a visual person. Unless I see it , I can't help you OP.

You might have something there I did have the motor mount changed to a non-electrical type. I'm trying to attach the photo, but my photo bucket account is not working due to inactivity. the picture is there but I can't get the IMG.
