It looks like 18.  I ohmed out the whole harness against the
bently wiring diagram  before I went to put it in, so I know it is
something that should be there and is intact.  IIRC it is connected to
the cold start valve as well as contact 18 on the ECU connector.

Bare crimp, might not be original but it looks like it is.

About how long is this wire after it

About a foot and a half.

It's two wires in a sleeve going to the single connector.

On the old harness it goes through a hole in the right side of the
foward firewall and through a factory hole in the tarboard there.

I just can't find the connector that the old one is connected to.
