Default Need Wiring help

I'm pulling off my Dr. X and 90mm TB tonight and replacing it with the OEM stock 78mm TB and I have extra wires!
Plug into the TB has 7 wires and the wiring harness has 8. Where does the extra one go? It's the pink one! (figures )
Can someone take a picture of their harness or plug to see if there is 7 or 8 wires going into their TB?? Thanks!
Take your time fellas, I'm just sitting on a stool in my garage until I figure it out!

Until then I'm (**** I'll never figure it out if I keep drinking!

I think I figured it out...the pigtail that I have that plugs into the TB only has 7 wires made up. When there should be 8 going into it. I have to re-pin the pigtail.

Btw, the one pin that was missing, I stole to get you going when you were here! So you have all the pins, just need to pull the pink long wire out of the 90mm plug
