Default Where does this plug/sensor go...

so I learned that the reason my CHECK ENGINE light is on is because a sensor, (the one that tells of the coolant temp) simply fell out.

I cannot find the place to plug it back in! could someone please help me out...

This is a 1996 D1, the plug originates near the area behind the driver side headlamp... and the cord is about a foot and a half long, but like i said i can't find where it goes...

CTS = Coolant Temp Sensor.
Could have become disconnected, or the CTS is bad. Cheap fix either way. Let me find a pic for you.....

Check this link out. The first 2 pics are the temp senors. One for the ECU, one for the gauge. The one in front has an orange clip in the picture...
