water issues

i am finishing up my head gasket and had some trouble starting it and finally got it started. i messed around with the cam position sensor and made it idle good, but now if i run it for five minutes or so my coolent starts to boil. and my gauge in the car reads all the way past hot even if the car is cold. so i looked down by my thermostat housing and noticed that one of my little plugs down to the right had no wire going into it. i need help so i can find were this wire could be, does it come from the wire harness or what. it is the little plug that slides over the metal prong close to the head on the lower part of the thermostat housing.

hrm... are you refering to your coolant temp sensor? having that unplugged would not cause your car to overheat. sure you torqued down everything to spec?

Definately temp sensor wire. Yes, it goes to the wiring harness at some point. Follow the other wire that's connected to the connector and follow that back.
