I would need someone with a TII to confirm this, but I think its the plug for the knock sensor. Every 89-91 n/a I have ever seen has one unused plug inthe wiring harness. Same plug as the O2 sensor, right? I think the TII's and n/a's use the same engine wiring harness. The n/a ECU just doesnt have a pin for that wire.

89-91 TII's and automatic FC's have an auxiliary electric fan in front of the A/C condensor. There's a water thermoswitch in the back of the water pump that send s a signal to a relay to turn the fan on. The plug is for the water thermoswitch.
