WHAT IS THIS???

Ok so my 89 firebird (5.7 tpi) idles rough and will not start once hot. I was looking over the engine to find the problem. I think it a sensorof sometype. But the problem is where does the wire from it go to? Its attached to the radiator. So if someone will go look at theres and tell me where it goes to it my fix my problem thanks.
