Looking at this picture can someone tell me what the pink and lavender plugs are and their function? They are located on the sides.



My IACV only has the pink and the lavender plug is located somewhere else in the hood. I'll take pictures once I get a hold of my camera.

Could this be a reason why diagnostics say I have a problem with my IACV? And why my car needs to be started by pushing on the gas to prevent from stalling?

 

One is for the AC and the other is for power steering, not sure which one is which though.

If you are having a hard start problem though it's more likely the main IACV, not those 2. Have you taken it apart and cleaned it lately? It can get pretty gunked up in there.
