I have recently bought a Ford Mondeo L Reg 1.8 16v, and all though everything is running ok. On start-up (always starts first time), after a few seconds of reving, it will cut out but once warmed up its fine.
After looking under the bonnet, I found the following connector:

(black connected on like a green sensor)has had the two wires into it cut. Two wires are just at the side ofit, (Black/Yellow and White) taped with blue insulation tape.Does anyone know what this connecter is? TIA
It would be helpful if you photoshopped a red arrow pointing to the sensor. Visually, it looks a lot like an oil pressure sender or A/C pressure. I say follow the pipe it's connected to and see where that leads you to. Should be easy enough to tell what's going through the pipe. My guess is some sort of pressure sensor.
Is this advisable, if its not going to fix the cutting out, and its causing no other issues! The old saying, "If its not broken, don't try and fix it" kinda fits here.
Not so easy, as the wires are cut right back. So I would need to source a replacement connected, with some wire out of it, then connect it to the existing wires, then try.....
I never said it would, and I never said it wouldn't. You won't know unless you try. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
Would you rather invest 15 minutes, try it, and know if that was it or wasn't? If it is, problem solved. If it isn't you can move on and try something else.

You can pay a competent mechanic hundreds of dollars to fix that plug for you, plug it in, and tell you that was the problem.
Please forgive the people here who tried to help you. Heaven forbid they do not know exactly how to help you.
If you want help, either change the attitude or go elsewhere.
