that pigtail goes to the fan switch located in the passenger side head, the knock sensor uses the same style connector but from the angle of this pic thatd be impossible not to see plus youll be throwing codes like crazy

Look from the same angle up on the head youll see the sensor, itll be on the head between two of the spark plugs on the rear half of the head

Good Luck

In between #4 & #8 below spark plugs and just above the starter.
There are 2 connectors on the passenger side with that type of connector; Fan temp switch, and Knock Sensor. KS is center of block just above the oil pan rail.
