Probably the coolant temp ground wire...there are two temp sensors mounted
in the thermostat housing, one for the ECU and one for the gauge.  Each
should have two wires attached...the gauge one appears to be the one that
points forward through the firewall and may take an Act of God (or maybe
coming from underneath?) to reach.  Can't help there, my 1.9l is laid out
entirely differently.
