Default NA8 coolant temperature ground wire

Was changing the coilpacks and ended up with this disconnected. Quick Google says it's the ground for the coolant temp sender for the cluster (also seeing the coolant temperature at 0 tipped me off), but that quick Google couldn't tell me where it goes.

So, where in the **** does this plug in??

Under the coil pack there is a brass sensor, pointing at nine o clock near the heater hose. clip it onto that

Thanks for the quick reply. Can I get to it without taking off the coilpack? (At work, so can't run out to the car to take a look.)

The one you pictured is for the ECU. The little brass one is the one. And yep it is under there
