Since he apparently has the computer diagnosis receptacle, this would probably 
be the one from there. The CSV wire would be white. Only the diagnosis wire 
would come out of a non-FI harness, and I would expect it to be only about 0.1' 
long.

On some cars with the computer diagnosis system, the white CSV wire connected 
into that bundle back at the computer diagnosis receptacle, at a Tee. It's 
possible that the other end of the black wire has just gotten pulled back into 
the cable harness jacket by about 2.9 feet. If so, that will be hard to pull 
back out, but it's no great loss if it's ignored.
