Throttle body connectors

Hi folks,

I'm at the strangest impasse. I'm putting together my '99 Boxster's plenum. I had removed it to put a new oil fill tube in, among other things. I remember taking off the plenum and it was very straightforward, two electical connectors, the throttle position sensor, which has a nice orange gasket, and the idle air stabilizer, which has a small metal bar that has to be depressed to remove. Both have 3 prongs.
Upon reassembling, it all seemed fine till I got to the idle air stabilizer. The connector with the metal bar suddenly has 5 prongs. There's no way in hell it'll fit onto my throttle body. For the life of me I cannot figure out what's going on, or where this 5-prong connector goes. Did I lose some type of adapter?
Anyone been through this before? Thank you.
