Default please help me find were this plug goes

The car is a 1990 CQ I just rebuilt everything and when putting it back together I can't seem to locate were this plug goes. It comes out of the the same wire insulation as the plug that goes into the top of the throttle body. Here is a pic

Possibly the coolant temp sensor at the back of the head?

Well it's obvious someone has spliced in a connector that doesn't go there.
What about the the afterrun temp sensor that bolts to the back corner of the valve cover it should be two spade connectors not the connector that is spliced on there. That's what it is on my later build 20v.

I looked all over I can't find anything on the valve cover that I could plug something into. Could I bother you for a pic of yours

Thank you for doing that for me. I have been racking my brain for days. Found that sensor sitting on my work bench under a bunch of junk. Now all I have to do is get my coolant guage working and ill be done.

Coolant gauge is run by the MFTS large brown plug sensor on the coolant neck.
The MFTS connector runs through another connector next to the 02 sensor connectors. It's worth checking that it is fully seated and corrosion free.
