Your temp sensor is screwed into the engine block under the air louvers below the muffler. The harness you showed earlier dangling down should plug into the connector on the side of the air louver housing. That plug has 2 short wires inside the air louver that connect to you temp switch.
Before you plug it in you could try jumping the 2 wires in the dangling harness together with a small jumper wire and see if that keeps you running.
I believe that plug has 3 pins but only 2 have wires, so be sure to jump the correct pins together.

Working great! The ground was rusted and I'm assuming that was all the issues! except for the sparatic idle, any tips on getting that right? Such as where the gov spring is? When I kill the engine the spring is so loose it falls off. What's the optimal spring setting, idle arm setting?

If you look in the TM, there is a very good description of how to adjust the Fuel shut off solenoid and gov spring.
