If you slowly accelerate in first gear, the light on the dash says "one to four" and you will be forced to shift from 1st into 4th gear (2nd & 3rd locked out). This, along with the long 6th gear ratio and some other features, is how GM met the fuel economy requirements of the day.
The lockout solenoid circuit can be disabled by disconnecting this plug on the side of the ZF6 transmission, enabling you to pick whatever gear you want regardless of the conditions. I would recommend you cover it with a plug or some tape, or otherwise seal it from the elements, as with any other open/unused connector.
Do a search for more info.

CAGS = computer-aided gear selection.

The snapshot certainly lacks some quality, what are the colors of the wires? Try to ID the wire colors to the ID of the pin-out of the connector.
It certainly appears to be the mating connector to an O2 and on a '94 it would be to the second in the pipe rear of the converter. I believe it even has the correct color of weather-seal. I believe I'd try to confirm that the front sensor is connected to the correct pig-tail which is I believe tucked up near the starter motor.

ok it's orange, red, black, and brown. I just changed out that side o2 sensor yesterday and cleared the codes after and now the 64 'right side oxygen sensor' code is gone. my mpg went back up to normal too so i doubt it's wrong.

The colors of the wires certainly aren't a match for the O2's.
