The Yellow wire is definitely for the Oil Pressure Sender. Does it appear the other wire is part of the same harness or not?

yellow wire is oil pressure. the other is the fan switch, only the T2 and automatics have it, but every car has the plug

The Oil Pressure Sender has a "nail head" like end to it that allows the specific plug for it to slide over and I believe it is the only component in the engine bay which requires this specially designed plug.

The Y/R wire of the sender comes from the Engine harness which then connects to the Front harness. Both Front and Emission harness wires "can" run to the ECU, but some don't. There's a Y/R wire at pin 1B but this Y/R wire goes to a Green check connector plug w/two other Yellow wires and a B/W wire located near the leading coil. If you believe the wire in the pic goes to the ECU then a continuity test should prove that one way or the other.

I'm not sure what gives, but if you say it runs to the ECU then find that wire at the ECU and perform a continuity test and you'll have your answer.
