help! under the hood questions

[think_7500]

i changed out the head gasket, but now connecting all the wires and plugs is a problem. The main problem is a 4 prong plug that needs a connecting plug, but i cant find the plug to go to it. i'm looking where i can find under the hood pics of a 93 x (eb) so i can compare where the wires go to and find the wire that connects to the spot next to the plenum. Any suggestions as to where i should start?

maybe the plug wasnt used to start with . post a pic of what the plug is an some 1 might be able to tell you what it is or where it goes.

To host pics you have to be an elite member. If you post pics on another site like photobucket you can insert the link.

Maybe the coil pack, I think it's 4 pin... and sorta near the firewall by the a/c box

If not,

Component locations, 93 4.0L

well, i found where the plug went... it was actually below the alternator (but not attached to) I found it by looking underneath my car. Plugged it in and fired right up. No unusual sounds or vibrations. however, I had a buddy put together all the vacuum hoses, and i want to double check his work. Also, I'm not sure i there is a plug to go for this, but just wanted to know what it is for. locationwise on the pic below it is between A4 and A5. It is a 4 prong male located to the right and down just a tad of the trans fluid gauge behind the headers.

There is an o2 sensor connector is down on the passenger side, near the transmission bell housing. Thats the only one I can think of that is down low.

more head trouble?

so i changed the head gasket, hooked everything back up and started my x. The exhaust coming out looked like a fog machine. My guess (being that I resurfaced the heads, changed the gasket, and didn't have any noticible cracks in the head) is that maybe there was water built up from when i blew the head gasket and the smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe is actually steam.?..?? Any other guesses? If its not what i'm guessing, then im afraid i might have to disconnect everything again and re-check the heads. If it is condensation or water build up, how long should it take to burn off/dissipate the steam?
