Default VSS PLUG?

so tonight I just installed my new VSS and speedo cable for my mass air conversion and the VSS has an extraplug for a sensor or something on top?

what is supposed to go in there? my old speedo cable I took out had no plug for it?
do I need a pigtail plug or something?? any ideas?

thanks, Matt

You need to wire it into your computer, you will have to get a pigtail...I got mine from Ford for $7.50

. VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR SIGNALS
These signals are required for cruise control and as stated earlier, some have reported stalling problems on cars not equipped with cruise so avoid the head-ache and just do it. These will also generate an error code in the EEC if not installed. These signals come from a sensor that plugs into the transmission. The easiest place to tap into them is behind the driver's side kick panel. There is an 8 pin connector cable which runs back to the driver's seat, across the floor under the seat then back towards the front of the car and then goes through the transmission hump to the sensor. You will need to splice into the orange/yellow wire. The other end of this signal needs an EEC pin attached and this gets inserted into the EEC connector into position 6. You need to splice into the dark green/white wire for the other connection. The other end of this signal needs an EEC pin attached and this gets inserted into the EEC connector into position 3. Refer to figure 2.
