TCS system, I believe. Transmission Controlled Spark. The sending unit has two temp sensors in it. One is for low temp; the other is for high temp. That TCS system is defeated at cold and hot engine temps; it is only operational with warmed-up engine. You can do a SEARCH on the TCS system and learn all about it. Bottom line: You don't need it (and don't WANT it) unless you live in a state with ruthless EPA testing rules...or...you bleed "green". It was a stop-gap fix for base engines to be able to pass EPA regs without installing the AIR pump.

Great help from 7T1vette on green wire, but does anyone have a clue as to what the black connector is for? Thanks, Larry

On the black connector are the wires Yellow & Dark Blue?
If yes then they might be for the washer pump in the wiper motor.
