Just the other day I noticed this connector and it’s wire being extremely Burnt out on my 1996 corvette, I have no idea what is is for. Car has being running fine please up I just wanna figure out what this is and if I should fix it.
In the second third and fourth picture it looks like bad wiring to the temp sensor.
The second, third and fourth pictures also show the spark plug wire holders. The plug wires should be in them to prevent them touching the manifolds. But there only half there.

Thanks so much!! And do you have any idea of where I could find wiring for the temp sensor
Go to Ecklers Corvette. Search for "Corvette engine coolant temperature sensor connector 1985-1996" I think this is the right one. The pros can confirm. For some reason I can't post a direct link. Dan
Difficult to tell what someone has there but if the TEMP GAUGE works it functional. The connector for the TEMP SENDER appears to be a 2 cavity connector but in fact is a single wire.
If the sender is correct it would look like this and an OE connector like the image on the end. Someone may very well have used something other than OE to accomplish functionality and it can be done. First you check the sender for appearance and then decide if you'd still like to do the connector.
Sender would be GM# 25037332 or an equivalent from an auto parts store and the correct connector a GM 12126458 or equivalent. A more generic 2 cavity can be substituted and one wire cut off like it seems yours is.
Here's switch and a correct connector.
***Changed sender image to I believe better representation,
eBay, Amazon or GOOGLE should confirm images for you if you've doubt.
What WVZR-1 said. I was writing the same thing when I realized he had posted it
That connector has a green wire that goes down past the manifold. It is for the Analog Coolant Temp Gauge. From the factory the wire comes out the side not the back.
AN alternate connector number is ACDelco PT728
