I don't even think I have anything that goes there, I would guess it's for temp?

What model/year is the engine?

 

Looks like the coolant temp sensor

Correct, and without it your fan won't come on. I wouldn't suggest leaving your car idling for very long without that plugged up. I've seen a blown motor because of that exact same thing. If you can't find the plug for it I'd atleast wire your fan up where it comes on with the key.

 

the harness doesnt reach that....

my car is starting to overheat :[ freeway and street

 

added more pics aat the top!

 

Does the wiring harness you're using match the head you're using? Also, I saw electrical tape in one of those pics around the wires right behind the connector...was the wire repaired/replaced, and is now shorter than it was? I wired a switch inside the last car I had to turn on the fan whenever I wanted to, but your looks like its wired to something Hot in Run, can you tell what its hooked up to? Is it on all the time? Doesnt sound like its on if you're overheating a lot.

 

fan is running all the time

 

If you have access to a helms, look up the eletrical of the sensor and see if the color listed matches the wires you think.
