This plug is located directly under the steering column in a huge cluster of wires; some leading to the ignition switch. I initially thought it was part of my crank no start issues I’ve had. I thought best case was the sensor in the ignition lock cylinder disabling the fuel. last night I went through all fuse boxes,(for a second time) and verified all plugs we’re tightly secured, tried a couple of the reset system procedures and to my delight it fired right up and has started for last 5 times. I’m very wary that I “fixed “ the problem and it will happen again. I do know I must learn how to use multimeter as a lot of the tests require it. I also had unplugged the center plug on pcm under the radio and re-plugged it in. So i’m Not sure what the fix was

Based on your description of its location, it is indeed an OBD diagnostic port as Andy had suggested.
Sweeping the contacts as you did on the PCM connector and pins may have done the trick. You mentioned reset procedures. Was one of them a passlock reset? These cars are notorious for having passlock security issues that get worse with time and age.
