The real question here is WHAT wire is connected to that sensor. 
Can you read the wire # off the end? If you originally had the CSV 
you would have a whole mess of extra wires there, but you 
apparently don't. In that case I think you have the standard 68-9 FI 
harness which would have NO wire for a temp sensor.

Does this wire look long enough to reach the starter soleniod? 
There is a wire that is supposed to go there. I'll bet that's it.
