Welcome to ZDriver!

Looks yellow? If so it's your temp gauge wire. Goes to the bullet connector sensor on the front bottom of the thermostat housing.

Make sure you've downloaded the FSM! XenonS130 - S130 Reference

you my friend are a god. guess my manual was missing that section.
next question is since the wire going to my water temperature sensing switch is torn would that happen to cause my car to run rich. i have read in multiple places that it can cause that since its telling the ecu that the engine is always cold.
