It looks like the plug for the fuel evap purge solenoid.

The solenoid is bolted to the inlet manifold between the alternator and power steering pump and has a number of vacuum lines around it to which it connected to, that plug plugs into the bit thats bolted to the inlet

Would there be a reason to disconnectc it? as I've only just found it and I've owned the car 3 months and it's been a daily drive.

I've had a little read. Maybe canister is removed? I'll have to have another look.

The evap system is nice for the environment, but totally unsuitable for a car IMHO.

The system lets oily vapours enter the induction system, thus contamination of air with oil can occur (this can/will lead to detonation over time, which is a no/no.

Yeah I've had another look. Looks as if it's been removed from engine bay.
