What is this for?

Can someone help? I found these 3 wires in the engine bay and no clue what they are/were for. They go into the loom around the same place the starter trigger does.

yellow is your water temp gauge sender wire. the red and blue on and the other could be alternator, but not too sure.

blue/red is for the idle solenoid, black is a earth that is a signal for the fuel cutoff system
