I've found some of my wire questions' answers here... http://www.techcapri.com/Repair/Capri_Wiring_Diagrams.htm
You can enlarge the diagrams & see what color the wires are (R/W... Y/B  etc.)
Hope this helps

I've gone threw the diagrams and can't find that wire. I really don't know where it goes just that it comes off the fan loom on front fan

Can you clean the wire off enough to correctly tell the color? With stripe or solid?

It's black with white stripe before connector then it's mesh braded after.  It's coming off the loom that goes to the front fan behind the factory ic.

On my (stripped-down) '91 N/A Capri I can clearly see that same wire. It comes from the wire harness down to the (white) connector like in your picture. My connector is located along the bottom of the radiator and the black wire continues under the radiator & connects to the A/C compressor. It looks like it's a ground wire to me. A small screw on the lower front side of the compressor has a holder for this wire. The other end of your wire might still be there.

It looks like the wire that goes to the oxygen sensor on the exhaust manifold.
