I found this handing from my steering column. Looks like it is suppose to go into my ignition cylinder. But i tried to fit it somewhere in there and it doesnt seem to fit. My ignition also doesnt work. Whenever I turn the key to turn the engine on all I see is the check engine light. i replaced the solenoid and it still does it. What could be the problem here? Could it be this connection?

yea I remember touching it up to the ignition and the chime going on. It also goes on without it though. Should I be able to start the car without this??

try the eec power relay located in the pass side of dash under dash speaker in between glove box and speaker , had problem like that before another way to check is to check your reference voltage at either your injectors or throttle body , if you dont have a multi meter install a test light into the power wire of one of your injectors and if you get a dim light that means corrosion and build up on the relay contacts are not allowing full ref voltage to reach key components ,( after 3 days of searching i found the problem )

I somewhat fixed the ignition. There seems to be a bad connection with the clutch electrical crap. When it was running and i when i was driving it, it seemed to bog when my foot was slightly on the clutch and in gear. But when the clutch was in the engine was fine. When the engine was off i pressed the clutch and you can see all the guages slightly go up. I tweaked with some of the wires down where the clutch is and the ignition started to work.
