From your pictures, it is still very hard to see the location. But, since I see the distributor, is it the sensor on top of the transmission? If so, it is the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), which would cause the D4 to flash.

Check this link out to see if that is what you are referring to:

VSS is on the tranny and facing updates, that looks like the plug comes in from the side. From around the engine block.

The 2 pin connector in the head under the distributor is a temp sensor ;
The single pin connector is for the temp gauge sending unit;

If you make the pictures a little smaller and darker I'm sure you'll get some more wild guesses.
