Default 98 Civic: Loose connector, surging idle & CEL

So bassicly I was replacing my coil last night which was a success thx everyone that helpe the cars running ****! But under the tiger poly box that holds the intake tube down in the front of the car was a mystery Connecter not pluged in. I bought the car used and everything runs fine with no lights on. It's really bothering me because I don't see where it should be plugged in. It is rapped around my radiater overflow. Anyone know what it is? It splits off one Wireing harness behind the headlight.

Post pictures of the connector along with how many wires it has and the wire colors. Otherwise you place members in the position of making guesses.
