Default Got the R/T back!

So, I FINALLY got my R/T back, and I decided to take alook around to see make sure the mechanics plugged in all the sensors and stuff, (I have had friends with mad **** unplugged after they took their cars to the shop)soIwas crawlingunderneath and noticed a wire that looks like it should be plugged into my transmission was unplugged, now I am having some problems with the truck stalling at idle, but that could be becuase of the cam & pulleys...but anyway does anyone know where or if that wire is suppose to be plugged in?its a 1999,and all the plugs I can see are plugged in, butone on the top of the transmission, I can move the wire around a bit but its hard to see anything becuase its directly on top ofthe transmission.
ps- any info would help!

does it have a cap on it?

Its probably the diag cable.. sometimes dealerships use that plug to read **** on the tranny.. i know mine has one.. to.. mines a 2000,

mine hangs from the top of the tranny, the wires go back into a bundle near the o2 bundle.

Why did you take it to the shop? To have the cams installed?

glad to hear you got it back.

and his motor blew up a while ago. did it cost you anything, or was it all under warranty?

Everything was covered under the warranty, minus what I paid the guy to put in the cam and pulleys, appartently the motor came out of a 99 R/T and has between 20,000 and 30,000 miles on it....Im going to run the vin anyway to double check it, but if thats true I think I made out pretty good....its a hell of alot faster too .
