common mistake.

 

The left VTC solenoids (one of the 2 round "sensors" at the back of your engine) is connected to the det sensor plug.

the wire that is now connected to it should be connected to a plug at the left side of the engine, which is now probably just hanging there.

it should be near a 3 wire connector (black/red/white) just like the other 3 wire connector that is on the picture

 

BTW: the 3 wire connectors with the black/red/white cables are from your o2-sensors

 

the real det. sensor connector should be somewhere at the back of your engine or it has broken of ?
