Help with NB Miata

[bimmertech]

Can anyone tell me what these three connectors are? Specifically the one on the far right in the pic.
For orientation, this is the front of the motor just left of the thermostat housing.

What the heck... The picture got turned 90deg counter-clockwise when it was uploaded, so I'm most interested in the connector on top and the one directly under it.

I have a feeling the one on top is an oil pressure switch and the one under it feeds the injector harness but I could be wrong.

No clue, but I could sell you a Miata you don't have to do all that fiddly stuff too

It looks like my connector in question is for the knock sensor. It also appears all of the damage is on the sensor side and not the harness side. Lucky me! It does appear that the intake has to come off to replace the knock sensor.

I haven't figured out the middle connector yet, but the damage there is minimal and I think I can repair it all without replacing the harness.

I just put a turbo on my car last month and had to tap the oil pressure pickup which is right below the knock sensor. The knock sensor can probably be accessed by removing the wheel from under the car without the tray. Don't be surprised to see some oil like substance leaking from it. It does not harm the functionality of the sensor according to Tom at Partsgroup.

Got it running. Thanks for the help.

BTW, the knock sensor had nothing to do with the car not running. It was just a separate problem I came across while troubleshooting.

Now, on to building a race car!

I was building the miata first. Rod got scared and went the only place he knew I wouldn't be, BMW land.
