Dangling connection

I was changing the oil on the V70 when I noticed a cable connection hanging down underneath the car, near the driver side front wheel. Does anyone know what that connection is for?
Is it a good idea to tie it up somewhere, or just let it hanging?

Thanks.

Re: 940- 1993-Regina-150k-Eratic Idle and stalling

I have a 1991 940 with idle and stalling problems until I changed the fuel pressure regulator.

940GLE '91 Leaks on rear driver side

Washed the car and parked it away. Later in the day I found that there's leakage at the rear driver (left) side, just after the gas tank shield as shown in the pic. Seems the leakage's been there for some time but I didn't notice it. It looks pretty fresh too on paper towel, so I guess it's still ha...

940GLE' 91 Automatic timing belt tensioner

Looks like my B234F has an auto timing belt tensioner. Brickboard states that the tensioner is hydraulic. Does it make use of engine oil pressure, or is it a self-contained sealed unit? Brickboard says that the tensioner might leak and ruin the belts. That had me worried a bit. I wonder if there are...

Re: 940GLE' 91 CEL and high idle

Thanks for the clarification Bill. I checked the sensor connection today, and it just slipped off in my hand! What must have happened was that I didn't plug it back properly when I was checking this sensor couple of days before CEL came on, though I wasn't sure what it was. It was a pain to plug/unp...

Re: 940GLE' 91 CEL and high idle

Thanks Bill for the info. According to Brickboard, the ECT sensor is somewhere near cylinder 3, which is quite far back, close to the firewall I have a pix here, there's a sensor with white connection on it, the sensor is on the left of coolant temp gauge sensor. Don't know the colors of wires in it...

Re: 940GLE' 91 CEL and high idle

Cleared the CEL last night. This morning, it started with high idle (1400rpm). Then idles went to normal after driving for 5 minutes. CEL came back. Cleared CEL, but it came back minutes after driving the car, although idle was ok. No stalling, hesitation, strange noise, black smoke or gas smell. Ca...

940GLE' 91 CEL and high idle

Previously the car had hot stall problem, until I replaced the fuel pressure regulator, when the problem went away. Today, out of the blue it threw a Check Engine Light! Instead of stall problem, now the idle goes to 1500rpm after the car’s driven for a while. If I turn it off, let it cool down &...
